Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: Around 161 police officials have been demoted due to concealing details of their criminal cases and punishments from the police department, according to a review conducted by the departmental promotion committee (DPC). This decision came after a meeting held recently. The officials, comprising 78 inspectors and 83 sub-inspectors, had not disclosed information about cases pending in courts, punishments given by higher authorities, and other offenses while undergoing the promotion process.
Following the PHQ's issuance of the promotion list, which included sub-inspectors being promoted to inspectors, a supervisory officer or superintendent of police (SP) re-evaluated the credentials and found discrepancies. Consequently, the officials were demoted to the ranks of sub-inspectors or incharge inspectors. Once the court decisions conclude or punishments are completed, the names of these 161 officials will be reviewed at a future DPC meeting.
The next DPC meeting will take place in November, during which the names and designations for December 2027 will be determined. In total, 27,534 police officials and personnel across 58 cadres have been promoted, with 12,928 constables at the field level becoming head constables and 5,171 head constables becoming assistant sub-inspectors.
