Authorities in Bareilly have suspended two police officers after an internal inquiry uncovered their alleged involvement in the misappropriation of petrol from a Dial 112 emergency vehicle. The suspension came following a formal complaint that triggered a departmental investigation into irregularities in fuel management of the state-run emergency response fleet.
The inquiry found sufficient evidence to warrant action against the two constables, with investigators determining their direct role in the alleged fuel tampering. In addition to the suspended officers, a home guard was also identified during the course of the investigation as potentially linked to the matter.
The Bareilly police department has initiated formal departmental proceedings as part of a broader inquiry into the incident. Officials said the investigation remains active, with further findings expected to emerge as the process continues. The exact financial loss from the alleged fuel theft has not yet been disclosed.
