ASI sent for de-addiction amid public complaints

An Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) in the sensitive Ramban district has been mandated to attend a one-month alcohol de-addiction program. The decision, issued last week by the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Anna Lata Sinha, stemmed from multiple written complaints concerning the ASI's alcohol problem. These complaints originated from both the general public and supervisory officers, including the Station House Officer (SHO).

Following a medical certification that deemed the ASI unfit for duty due to alcohol consumption, the SSP ordered his referral to the District Hospital Ramban's de-addiction center. This initiative serves a dual purpose: reinforcing discipline within the police force during operational hours and assisting a member of the force in overcoming addiction. Officials stated that this action sends a clear message against inebriation and misconduct while on duty in a district prone to security concerns.
