Departmental probe against woman SHO

CHANDIGARH: More trouble brews for inspector Jaswinder Kaur, who is on the run after the CBI booked her in a ₹5 lakh graft case on Tuesday, as Chandigarh Police have ordered a departmental inquiry against her after placing her under suspension, confirmed SP Manoj Kumar Meena.

Jaswinder Kaur, who was the Manimajra station house officer, had allegedly demanded the money from a Manimajra resident for not registering a cheating case against him.

The CBI had arrested the conduit, Bhagwan Singh, while accepting ₹1 lakh as part of the bribe amount on Monday.

STILL UNTRACEABLE

The CBI after raiding Jaswinder’s house and police station had summoned her to join investigations on Tuesday, but she remains untraceable after switching off her mobile phone.

The CBI has written to SSP Nilambari Vijay Jagadale, asking her to direct Jaswinder to join investigations. A reminder was also sent. However, the SSP office on Tuesday had conveyed to the CBI officials that Jaswinder was transferred to the police lines and asked them to write to the SP, headquarters, instead.
