IG suspends police officer over land dispute negligence

The inspector general of North Chotanagpur has suspended a police officer over a land dispute case. The officer in charge of the Chas mufassil police station, Amit Kumar Rai, was suspended on Sunday. The decision came after allegations of inaction during a recent fight between two parties claiming the same land. The disputed plot is located near the police station. Reports say that a cow owned by the current occupant was taken from the land, and police officers did not intervene. This prompted the affected party to file a complaint with senior officials, leading to an investigation. Additionally, an assistant sub-inspector and a constable involved in the case have been transferred to the police line. The Bokaro superintendent of police, Manoj Swargyari, has not commented on the situation.
