No FIR over stolen bike, two cops suspended

Ludhiana, Police Commissioner RN Dhoke today suspended head constables Balraj and Deep Chand for being “negligent” in dealing with a theft complaint of a motorcycle, which was allegedly used by assailants of RSS leader Ravinder Gosain.
The head constables were posted at the Miller Ganj police post, where the complaint was lodged on October 10.
The motorcycle was stolen on the night of October 10 from Miller Ganj market. The police neither registered an FIR nor searched for the vehicle.
Dhoke said, “The motorcycle owner, Rohit Pal of Ludhiana, had submitted the complaint to the head constables as the police post incharge was unavailable then. They neither recommended an FIR nor did they inform the incharge.”
A case should have been registered immediately and search launched, he added.
The motorcycle was found abandoned in Manj Phaguwal village on the Jalandhar-Ludhiana national highway on Wednesday morning.
Sources said Dhoke had asked the lower staff to check whether or not any theft complaint of a motorcycle was pending at any police station.
