Kendujhar: In a stern action against alleged dereliction of duty, Kusalkar Nitin Dagudu, Superintendent of Police (SP), Kendujhar, suspended Parto Oram, the officer in charge of Saharpada Police Outpost, following a surprise inspection that reportedly revealed lapses in a special security operation.
The action comes amid an ongoing investigation into the murder of a businessman from Kendeipashi village.
Following the incident, the district police had intensified security measures and vehicle-checking operations across Kendujhar to track down suspects and maintain vigilance.
According to reports, police personnel had been directed to conduct vehicle checking and blockade operations in two shifts, from 10 am to 2 pm and from 6 pm to midnight.
