Suspension of four police personnel revoked

They were placed under suspension after the ‘cash for cops’ incident

More than a month after four police personnel, including an Inspector of Police and a Sub Inspector, were placed under suspension after the incident relating to ‘cash for cops’ broke out in the run up to the Assembly election, their suspension orders have been revoked enabling them to rejoin duty. The four police personnel were, however, yet to be given fresh postings, said police sources. The case pertains to alleged bribing of police personnel in March-end ahead of the Assembly election with police teams seizing several covers containing cash at the Government Hospital police station and Thillai Nagar police station during searches conducted at both places. The incident led to suspension of six police personnel including Inspector of Police of Thillai Nagar station, a Sub Inspector of Government Hospital police station and two police personnel serving in the City Intelligence Section and tasked with looking after the Government Hospital police station and Thillai Nagar station.
