Saharanpur, 11 Nov: According to a senior official, eight constables were attached to the police lines for dereliction of duty and inactivity over contraband smuggling in the area. “The constables were moved to the lines following many accusations of policemen participation in drug smuggling and their failure to curb smuggling in their duty zones,” said Superintendent of Police Abhimanyu Manglik.
He stated the constables were stationed in Sadar Bazar, Behta, Kutubsher, and Deoband.
“The move is consistent with attempts to eradicate the drug trafficking in the district. Action will also be taken against station house officers where drug trafficking have been reported in the coming days,? Manglik stated.
