UP: Rampur SP among 11 IPS officers moved out

The government transferred Rampur SP days after BJP leader Akash Saxena made complaint against the local police.

“I have complained to the Chief Minister (Yogi Adityanath) that despite a court directive to arrest Samajwadi leader and local MP Azam Khan’s son Abdullah Azam Khan before filing a chargesheet against him (Abdullah) for allegedly obtaining a passport on false details and documents, police made no efforts,” Saxena, who is the complainant in the case, had said.

Rampur district government counsel Dalwinder Singh had also filed a complaint with District Magistrate Aunjaneya Kumar Singh that since police failed to file report in the court on time, Azam Khan obtained bail in eight cases last week.

“I have forwarded the complaint to the SP to look into it,” the DM had then said.
