An embarrassing situation has unfolded within the Bihar Police force. A female SI stationed at the Naokothi police station in the Begusarai district is under fire for allegedly demanding a bribe to remove charges from a case. The matter came to light after a video of the SI surfaced online. The video, which is 10 minutes long, appears to show the SI requesting money to drop specific charges against a person. SP Manish Verma has since taken action against the officer.
The female SI has been suspended immediately. Her name is Leelavati. The viral video captures the SI discussing the financial aspect of removing charges from a case. The amounts of 5,000 and 20,000 rupees are clearly mentioned in the video.
After the allegations were found to be true, action was taken. The video was brought to the attention of SP Manish Kumar Verma, who ordered the Sub-Divisional Police Officer of Bakhri to investigate. The investigation confirmed the accusations, leading to Leelavati’s suspension. Furthermore, departmental action has been initiated against her on the grounds of indiscipline.
The Begusarai Police issued a press release concerning the matter, noting the viral nature of the video featuring the female SI. Following an investigation into the video, immediate action was taken. The incident has stirred up considerable debate concerning the police’s operational approach in the area. Notably, a similar incident had previously occurred at Naokothi police station.
Before this instance, a video involving another police officer from the Naokothi police station had gone viral, resulting in that officer’s suspension. The recent suspension of the female SI has once again brought the police station into the spotlight.
