Jammu, Jan 17: Two cops of Jammu and Kashmir Police, including an Assistant Sub Inspector, were suspended for ‘looting’ jackets from roadside vendors in a broad day light in this winter capital of the state.
Two policemen of Nehru Market were caught on camera on Sunday ‘looting’ apparels (jackets) of street vendors at Panama Chowk here.
A video shot by some passersby, went viral on social media thus forcing senior police officials to take prompt action against erring cops.
Policemen during an anti-encroachment drive launched against the street vendors selling clothes on carts at unauthorized spots, committed an unauthorised act, which invited criticism from all corners on social media.
"Action has been taken and both the cops have been placed under suspension while enquiry has been initiated against them,’’ a senior police official said.
The suspended cops were identified as ASI Lal Chand Attri and constable Aijaz Ali.
