Rajasthan Police Crack Down on Corrupt Cops
23 Dec
Summary
- Five SHOs suspended, six sent to lines for laxity.
- Decoy operation exposed collusion with illegal sand mining.
- 15 more personnel face disciplinary action for misconduct.
In a significant move against internal corruption, Rajasthan police have suspended five station house officers (SHOs) and reassigned six others to lines. This action stems from a statewide decoy operation conducted on December 18 and 19, which exposed widespread laxity and collusion with illegal sand mining operations.
The operation, orchestrated by the state police's vigilance wing, involved eleven special teams posing as ordinary citizens to assess policing standards. Findings indicated that many police stations were either ignoring or actively participating in illegal sand transportation, prompting swift disciplinary measures against complicit officers.
Further disciplinary actions are pending for fifteen other personnel across eleven police stations. The Police Headquarters has vowed strict accountability, signaling that surprise checks and decoy operations will continue statewide to ensure law and order enforcement and rebuild public confidence.
