Swamy, inspector, Central Industrial Security Force, has been suspended for allowing a youth to drive a jeep on the KRS dam and also capturing it on his mobile phone.
The Police department’s internal security division has issued the suspension orders.
Swamy was on duty at KRS dam on February 9.
It is alleged that Swamy had allowed Surya alias Suresh of Belagola village, his distant relative, to drive the police jeep on the dam on the day, at around 4 pm.
While Surya drove the vehicle, Swamy was seated beside him.
The incident came to light on February 27.
This drew flak from the people as the general public are banned from even walking on the dam, and Swamy had violated the norms.
