Brahmdev Prasad, the Station Chief of Argodah Police Station in Ranchi, has been suspended by Zonal Inspector General Manoj Kaushik. This immediate suspension is a direct consequence of allegations of a brutal assault on a youth who was held in the station’s lock-up. The incident has cast a shadow over police conduct in the area. Following the initial reports, the Senior Superintendent of Police had already taken disciplinary action against Sub-Inspector Diwakar Singh. A comprehensive report detailing the Station Chief’s alleged involvement was submitted to the Zonal IG, prompting this significant punitive measure. The suspension emphasizes the seriousness with which such complaints are being treated.
