HC questions TI’s suspension for not following IAS statement:Says no cop will work this way; officer claims pressure to drop names

The case of the suspended TI (Station House Officer) in Indore’s infamous gambling incident has taken a new turn. During the hearing in the High Court on Monday, while strict questions were raised about the police’s action, the TI alleged that after catching the gamblers, he was pressured to remove the name of a female IAS officer from the FIR. The court asked, When the action was taken, why were the statements of the IAS officer not taken, and why were there no CCTVs at the farmhouse? It also commented that if a police officer on duty is suspended, then no one will take impartial action. After the hearing, which lasted for about two hours on Monday, the court reserved its decision. Gambling caught at IAS farmhouse
