Haryana Home Minister Vij orders suspension of DSP for alleged inaction in case

Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij on Friday ordered suspension of a deputy superintendent of police (DSP) for allegedly failing to act on his directions to take action in a case, according to an official statement.

Vij issued the directions for the suspension of Barwala DSP Rohtash while presiding over a meeting of the Public Relations and Public Grievances Committee here.

A resident of Kirori village in Hisar had complained that he cultivated wheat on two acres of land and the standing crop was destroyed by someone using a poisonous spray, the statement said.

During an earlier monthly meeting of the district public grievances committee, Vij had directed DSP Rohtash to arrest the culprits in the case without any delay, it said.

''Due to alleged non-action as per instructions, orders were given for the suspension of DSP and immediate arrest of the accused in the case,'' the statement said.

A total of 12 complaints were heard during Friday's meeting, according to the statement.
