Kannauj: A sub-inspector has been suspended here after an audio of him demanding potatoes to allegedly settle a case went viral on social media, a senior police officer said on Saturday.
Additional Superintendent of Police Ajay Kumar said it appeared from the audio that Sub-Inspector Ramkripal, in-charge of Chapunna outpost of Saurikh police station here, was allegedly trying to take bribe, regarding which a report was sent by the Circle Officer of Chhibramau.
Taking cognisance in the matter, Kannauj Superintendent of Police Amit Kumar Anand has suspended Ramkripal with immediate effect, the ASP said.
In the audio, a person was heard saying that he can give only two kilograms of potatoes for the case settlement, while Ramkripal expressed displeasure saying a deal of five kilograms of potatoes was fixed earlier, the officer said.
