ATTENDING A PRIVATE FUNCTION WHILE ON DUTY IN UNIFORM ON THE INVITATION OF ACCUSED
GRIEVANCE AGAINST ADDL. S.P. XXX, OPS & AXXX, OPS OF PURI DISTRICT POLICE FOR ATTENDING A PRIVATE FUNCTION WHILE ON DUTY IN UNIFORM ON THE INVITATION OF ACCUSED XXX BOOKED IN RAPE, EXTORTION, CHEATING.
Dear DGP Sir,
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Additional Superintendent of Police XXX and Additional Superintendent of Police XXX, both serving at Puri District Police Office (DPO). Recent news articles published in various newspapers have brought to light a concerning incident involving these officers.
According to the Dharitri news dated 06.07.2023 & Prameya News dated 07.07.2023, Addl. S.P. XXX and Addl. XXX were in attendance at a private function organized by Press Reporter XXXX. It is worth noting that Mr. XXX is currently facing several criminal cases, including charges of rape, extortion, and cheating, at different police stations in Odisha, including Puri Town.
Attending a private function while on duty and wearing the official police uniform raises serious questions about professional conduct and adherence to regulations within the police department. Such actions can be perceived as a misuse of authority, suggesting that the officers endorse or officially participate in the event.
Instance where senior police officers develop close associations or relationship with individuals is facing criminal charges create an alarming perception of favoritism and compromise the principal of justice. This undermine the faith that the public places in the police force, which is essential for maintaining law and order in our society.
Police officers are expected to uphold the law, maintain impartiality, and avoid conflicts of interest. Attending a private function with individuals involved in criminal activities may be seen as a breach of these expectations and could potentially violate laws and regulations. This kind of conduct is not only unprofessional but also undermines the public's trust in the integrity and impartiality of the police force.
I kindly request a thorough investigation into this matter to determine whether Addl. S.P. XXXX and Addl. S.P. XXX have indeed violated any laws, regulations, or professional codes of conduct. If the allegations are substantiated, appropriate disciplinary action should be taken to ensure accountability and maintain the public's trust in the police department.
I trust that the department will handle this matter with the seriousness it deserves and provide a prompt response regarding the actions taken in response to this complaint. I am confident that your commitment to upholding the principles of justice and maintaining the highest professional standards will guide your actions in this case.
