Cop suspended for stealing smart watch
A police constable attached to Otteri police station has been suspended for
dereliction of duty
According to sources, A. Rayan, a resident of Perambur along with his friend
was taking a video on the Perambur flyover when a person, clad in police
uniform asked them not to take any videos, took the phone away from him and
left.
A few minutes later, he came back and returned the mobile but asked Rayan to
give him the smart watch and told them to collect it at the police booth near
Mettupalayam located on Cooks Road.
When the two youths went to collect the watch at the booth, the policeman was
not there. They later went to Otteri police station and informed them about the
policeman’s act.
Based on an oral complaint, the Otteri police found the policeman who took the
smart watch to be M. Vimal (29) of Pulianthope police quarters. The police
found out that Vimal was deputed on security duty for a temple festival which
he did not attend. After a case was filed, City Police Commissioner Sandeep
Rai Rathore recommended the police constable be placed under suspension.
