In a rare instance of strict disciplinary action, the Assam government has dismissed the then Superintendent of Police (SP) of Darrang district, Raj Mohan Ray, from service.
This significant move aligns with Assam's zero tolerance policy towards malpractices within the police force and the penalty also entails a standard disqualification from future employment.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Assam police on Monday arrested a suspended police officer and three doctors of a government-run hospital in Darrang district in connection with a case of rape and murder of a 13-year-old girl.
