Chandigarh, Nov 21: Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij directed the Director General of Police to suspend 372 Investigating Officers over delay in cases being handled by them.
Vij said that people cannot be left to run from one officer to another seeking justice because it is the police’s duty to provide prompt redressal to complaints lodged with them.
So why after noticing the issue, I have instructed the DGP to hand over all such cases to Deputy Superintendents of Police who would take action on these cases within a month, failing which they would also be liable for action.
In his letter to DGP S S Kapur, Vij said that I have asked many times for early disposal of the FIRs registered in the state & last month, I ordered that explanation be sought from all the Investigating Officers who have not finalized/disposed of the FIRs that were pending for over a year but the number of such cases is very high
