City Police Commissioner Praveen Sood ordered the suspension of Jeevan Bima Nagar inspector on Tuesday for dereliction of duty.
Shiva Prasad, the inspector, failed to check a prostitution racket that was going on in a massage parlour behind the police station. A few persons reported the matter to Prasad and his staff. They inspected the parlour but did not take any action. This was aired by several local news channels, said a senior police officer.
The issue was brought to the notice of senior police officers, who conducted an enquiry and submitted a report to Sood following which Prasad was suspended. The matter is being probed and a few staffers at the police station will also be suspended, added the officer.
