UP: Woman cop in Amethi threatens to resign

LUCKNOW: A woman sub-inspector Sudha Verma accused Additional SP Amethi and SHO for high-handedness and said she was contemplating to resign due to the treatment meted out to her.
“I had joined the police service to serve people and do justice but had to struggle to save my self-esteem. I am thinking of resigning to save my self-esteem,” she said while talking to newsmen on Sunday evening.
The woman SI alleged that Amethi police take bribes and gives patronage to cattle smugglers in return.“I was transferred to another police station for raising objection on taking bribes from smugglers. I had caught a truck laden with animals, but had to let the driver off on the intervention of SHO. I was posted to a place where no woman SI was posted till date,” she alleged.
SP Amethi, Dinesh Singh said the SI never represented her case before him or any officer senior to him. “Whatever she has done is not permitted in service rules and code of conduct of a police officer,” he added. A probe has been ordered and action will be taken as per the findings, the SP said.
