PATNA: A case has been registered against sub-inspector of police (SI) posted in Purnia for amassing properties worth around of Rs40 lakh disproportionate to his known source of income in a short tenure of 11 years of service.
The disproportionate asset (DA) case was registered against SI Madan Kumar with Khajanchi Hat police station by additional SP Bambam Chaudhary on Friday.
Additional SP Hari Mohan Shukla has been made the investigating officer of the case, Khajanchi Hat police station SHO Sunil Kumar Mandal said.
Police sources said this has set a new trend as DA cases were either registered by vigilance investigation bureau or special vigilance unit of state government with their exclusive police stations in Patna. Police sources said the case was lodged on the direction of former Purnia IG Ratan Sanjay Katiyar a day before his transfer as IG (modernization) in Patna on Thursday.
Madan, a 2009-batch SI, hails from Naugachia in Bhagalpur. Sources said Madan came on Katiyar’s radar after it surfaced that while posted as Maranga police outpost incharge, Madan had turned an incident of house dacoity into a simple theft case. He was suspended in November last year.
“Jewellery worth around Rs11 lakh owned by him was not mentioned in the income tax return filed last year,” a senior police officer said, preferring anonymity.
