Aligarh Crackdown: SSP Shunts Two Cops Over Rape FIR Delay and MLA Spat
Enforcing strict accountability within grassroots policing, Aligarh Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Neeraj Jadon has initiated prompt disciplinary action by sending two police officers—Chharra police station in-charge Inspector Sushil Kumar Yogi and Town Outpost in-charge Sub-Inspector Jitendra Kumar—to police lines in separate controversies. The administrative action follows serious allegations of dereliction of duty against the station house officer for stalling the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) in a minor girl's sexual assault case, while the outpost chief faced punitive transfer following an intense confrontation with local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Ravindra Pal Singh over the detention of his farmhouse caretaker during an automated teller machine (ATM) tampering probe.
Zero Tolerance for Dereliction: Refusal to Register Minor's Rape Complaint Triggers Inspector's Removal
The primary action against Inspector Sushil Kumar Yogi stems from a grave sexual abuse complaint involving a teenage girl that reportedly occurred around August 15 in the Chharra jurisdiction, where the survivor's mother was employed as domestic help. Despite the victim and her mother approaching the local police station immediately following the incident, officers on duty allegedly refused to entertain the complaint or register an official FIR, compelling the distressed family to seek intervention at the district police headquarters. Although specific instructions were dispatched from the SSP office directing the local station to initiate legal proceedings, the precinct failed to act on the directive until the victim's mother secured another personal audience with SSP Neeraj Jadon on Thursday to recount the persistent administrative stonewalling. Viewing the deliberate suppression of a heinous crime with utmost seriousness, the district police chief ordered the immediate removal of Inspector Yogi and attached him to the district reserve lines pending formal inquiry.

In a parallel development that unfolded on the same day, Town Outpost in-charge Jitendra Kumar found himself in administrative crosshairs during an active investigation into an ATM tampering racket in the area. As part of the ongoing probe, the sub-inspector detained a security watchman deployed at the private farmhouse of sitting Chharra BJP MLA Ravindra Pal Singh for questioning on Thursday morning, prompting a sharp phone confrontation between the legislator and the investigating officer. The lawmaker formally lodged an objection with SSP Jadon, alleging inappropriate police conduct and asserting that his staff member had no nexus with the banking fraud under investigation. Following an initial review of the confrontation and the officer's handling of the detention procedure, the SSP issued late-night transfer orders directing Sub-Inspector Kumar to report to police lines immediately, signaling a stringent message across the district's police ranks against procedural negligence and high-handed conduct.
