Trouble for cops who bypassed CP

Police Commissioner Sanjay Barve problems 2nd display purpose understand to the officials for ‘now not following protocol’, asks why their increments shouldn’t be withheld.

The tug of warfare between Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Barve and the state Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) led by way of Deven Bharti has became uglier, with Barve in no mood to forgive the 12 officials who bypassed him and carried out directly to DGP Subodh Jaiswal whilst in the hunt for switch to the ATS. The dozen in the dock -- Senior Inspector Dinesh Kadam, Inspectors Nitin Alaknure Nandkumar Gopale, Dnyaneshwar Wagh, Sudhir Dalvi, and Santosh Bhalekar, and Assistant Inspectors Wilson Rodrigues, Ashwini Koli, Vishal Gaikwad, Laxmikant Salunke, Deepali Kulkarni, and Deep Bane – were issued a 2nd display purpose understand on Tuesday at the behest of Barve, asking why their increments will have to now not be withheld for breaching protocol. In what is observed as a snub to the police commissioner, the DGP has approved the 12 officials’ switch to the ATS.

The 12 officials who've worked closely with Bharti from the time he used to be the joint commissioner of police (law and order), carried out for switch a few days after he used to be moved to the ATS as in-charge in May.

While it's common follow amongst senior cops to take along subordinates on the subject of them on every occasion they're transferred, Barve used to be miffed because the officials had failed to follow the process, during which he/she will have to put up a switch request to the executive of the unit they're serving in, which in this case used to be the police commissioner.

Subsequently, the officials were issued the primary display purpose understand by way of Joint Commissioner of Police (administration) Naval Bajaj on June 13.

‘No mala fide aim’

Replying to the primary display purpose understand, the 12 officials mentioned there used to be no mala fide aim in making use of directly to the DGP, nor used to be it their aim to avoid their department head. A police department source mentioned the 12 officials’ excuse used to be that it used to be a not unusual follow in the force to ship switch requests directly to the Maharashtra Police’s senior-most officer, the DGP.

The officials confirmed receiving the second display purpose understand whilst there used to be no communique from Barve’s place of business the day prior to this. A few of the 12 cops in the dock mentioned that they have been stuck in the cross-fire between two best officials despite they all having “excellent service data”.

Most of them have worked closely with Rakesh Maria when he used to be the police commissioner of Mumbai and clearly with Bharti when he served the JCP, law and order. “A few of the dozen are mavens in terror investigation and performed an important roles in probing blast instances in the city,” the police source mentioned.

The source mentioned it used to be “very likely” that increments of the 12 cops will probably be withheld. “Apart from the monetary loss, this will probably be a profession setback as it's going to display up on their service data when it’s time for promotions and rewards,” the source mentioned.
