Two police officers in Pune have been suspended following a public outcry over their handling of a major accident involving a Porsche car. Inspector Rahul Jagdale and Assistant Inspector Vishwanath Todkari, both stationed at Yerwada police station, stand accused of dereliction of duty.
According to Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar, the officers allegedly failed to promptly inform the control room about the crash. This delay in reporting has sparked an investigation into potential protocol violations.
The exact details of the accident, which occurred earlier this year, are not part of this report. However, the incident resulted in casualties, making timely police response even more critical. The public outcry centers on this delay, raising concerns about the initial handling of the situation.
The Pune Police Department has remained tight-lipped regarding the duration of the suspension or any potential further disciplinary action against the officers. It’s safe to assume an ongoing investigation into their conduct.
