Summary:
Dehradun, Oct 27 (PTI) A sub-inspector arrested earlier this year by the CBI in a bribery case has been posted to the anti-human trafficking cell of the Uttarakhand Police here.
Hemant Khanduri was arrested from Chandigarh after being caught taking bribe by the apex investigation agency.
When asked how a tainted policeman involved in a graft case was transferred to the anti-human trafficking cell, Dehradun SSP Janmejay Khanduri said his suspension was revoked by his predecessor.
"He had been reinstated already and was sitting idle despite drawing his full pay.
I thought why shouldn"t he be put to work when he is taking full salary," the SSP told PTI.
Though granted bail in the graft case, the sub-inspector had been put under suspension and attached with the police lines.
