New Delhi, Oct 19, 2008: More than 100 officers and men of
Delhi Police have come under departmental scanner this year
for alleged irregularities while performing their duties.
Replying to a RTI application, Delhi Police has accepted
that Departmental Enquiry (DE) was initiated against its 124
officers ranking Inspector and below in the first six months
of this year.
Among them, 26 are inspectors including three women, 21
sub-inspectors and assistant sub inspectors, 27 head
constables and 29 constables.
Official sources say that a number of senior officers
like ACPs were also facing departmental probe for alleged
dereliction of duties. But the exact number of such personnel
was not revealed by the Department.
Most of the policemen facing DEs are field officers, the
sources said.
A senior officer said action was being taken against the
erring officers. "Administration is aware of all these things.
We take necessary action after analysing individual cases,"
the officer said.
The punishment, if proven guilty, ranges from losing
increment, demotion to even suspension, he said.
In 2007, as many as 192 personnel faced departmental
enquiries for not performing their duties properly. It
included 24 inspectors, 21 cases against sub inspectors and
assistant sub-inspectors each, 27 head constables and 29
constables, the RTI reply said.
The number of DEs initiated in 2004 was 220 as against
216 in 2003. Figures stood highest in 2005 and 2006 with the
number of DEs figuring 285 and 287 respectively, the RTI reply
said.
The sources said most of them were accused of accepting
gratification and bribe. Other reasons were refusing to join
new postings or offices, he said.
