Bengaluru: K S R Charan Reddy, Additional Commissioner of Police (West), has issued the orders to suspend H Parashuramappa, Police Inspector of Subramanyapura police station on charges of dereliction of duty.
The suspension order said Parashuramappa had failed to maintain peace in Subramanyapura police station limits during the protests over the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu in September.
It is alleged that the inspector failed to contain and defuse the violence in his jurisdiction on September 12, the day of the violence. He also allegedly did not curb the rowdy elements or investigate their role in the violence, said a senior police officer.
