The Ministry of Home Affairs has dismissed six police officers, including former Additional Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Proloy Kumar, through separate notifications issued on Thursday (November 12). An Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) has also been sent into compulsory retirement in connection with the same disciplinary actions.

Grounds for dismissal

According to ministry sources, allegations of irregularities, corruption, and dereliction of duty were proven against the seven officers. The actions were taken under the Police Act for violating service discipline. Proloy Kumar, a former additional DIG, was among those dismissed.

Separate notifications issued

The decisions were communicated through separate notifications from the Public Security Division of the Home Ministry. The notifications stated that the stringent measures were taken due to violations of police service rules and discipline. Several of the dismissed officers had previously held significant positions in the force.

Legal recourse

The dismissed officers may appeal against the decisions through established legal procedures. Copies of the notifications have been forwarded to the Police Headquarters and relevant units for implementation.
