Three police personnel have been suspended from duty over negligence after videos of the arrested shooter from Lawrence Bishnoi gang making statements to the media while being in custody went viral on Friday.
City SP Arvind Kumar said that the police acted in response to Yogesh alias Raju 's media statements. As a result, SSP Shailesh Kumar Pandey suspended sub-inspector Ramsanehi, head constable Vipin Kumar, and constable Sanjay Kumar for their negligence in securing the accused.
An inquiry has been initiated, and a deputy superintendent of police has been directed to investigate and submit a report, Kumar said as quoted by PTI.
Police have clarified that Yogesh is not connected to the killing of Baba Siddique. He was held in connection with the murder of gym owner Nadir Shah in Delhi last month.
He was arrested on Thursday morning after sustaining injuries during an encounter with a joint team from the Delhi Police's special cell and the Mathura Police, who recovered a .32-bore pistol, ammunition, and a motorcycle from him.
After being shot in the leg, Raju was taken to the district hospital, where he made statements about Siddique while speaking to reporters.
While being transferred from the hospital to the district jail, Raju also made additional comments on camera to journalists, which went viral on social media and received coverage from news channels and newspapers.
Talking to the reporters, he said, "Baba Siddique was killed because he was not a good man. There were charges against him under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). It is said that he was associated with Dawood, the man behind the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts. When people get involved with such individuals, something is bound to happen. This is exactly what happened to Siddique."
