POLICEMEN involved in corrupt practices will not only be suspended but also dismissed from service, after their involvement is verified," warned Home Minister G Parameshwara, here on Friday.
He was addressing the media at the state police headquarters on Nrupathunga Road after flagging off three 'Hygiene on Go' mobile sanitation vehicles for Bengaluru Traffic Police.On nearly 130 policemen being suspended in Bengaluru, he said the only way to stop corrupt practices is either through suspension or dismissal. The police constable, who was involved in the recent broad daylight heist of ₹7.11 crore will be dismissed from service. If any dismissed cop goes to the court challenging the dismissal, the government will go even to the Supreme Court and ensure that such policemen will never get the job again.
