Akhilesh transfers cops for 'unacceptable' remarks

May 10, 2012 21:21

The Uttar Pradesh government today transferred two senior policemen -- Saharanpur's Deputy Inspector General of Police Satish Kumar Mathur and a superintendent of police of Sant Nagar district -- who allegedly made extremely callous remarks about missing girls in separate incidents.

A video clip from Prabudha Nagar in Western UP, purportedly showed Mathur, telling the father of a missing girl that had she been his daughter, he "would have killed her and committed suicide," suggesting that if she had eloped, the girl had brought immeasurable shame to her family.

In eastern UP, the SP of Sant Nagar district reportedly said at a law and order review meeting on Tuesday that he was fed up of cases that involved missing girls.
