Patna, April 2: In a decisive move to reinforce its ‘zero tolerance’ policy towards corruption, the Bihar Police has taken strict action against a tainted police officer.
Chandan Kushwaha, the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of the Tirhut Range, has ordered the immediate dismissal of Sub-Inspector Sadre Alam. This action stems from a case dating back to 2021, when Alam was stationed at the Ahiyapur police station in Muzaffarpur.
The complaint was filed by Tabassum Ara, who reported allegations of bribery to the Vigilance Investigation Bureau. Following the complaint, a sting operation was conducted on September 30, 2021, resulting in Alam being caught red-handed accepting a bribe of 11,000 rupees at a tea shop near the police station. A case was subsequently registered at the Vigilance police station, leading to departmental proceedings against Alam.
The investigation was overseen by the Deputy Superintendent of Police (former) in Muzaffarpur, with Investigating Officer Shahryar Akhtar leading the inquiry. The final report conclusively established that the corruption allegations were fully substantiated. Alam was found guilty of negligence in duty and unethical conduct.
Based on the investigation’s findings, DIG Kushwaha ordered Alam’s dismissal from service, sending a strong message within the police force. Upholding a firm stance, and in agreement with the recommendations of Muzaffarpur’s Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kantesh Kumar Mishra, DIG Kushwaha issued the dismissal order on Thursday.
This action highlights the Bihar Police’s commitment to combating corruption and misconduct within its ranks. Officials have reiterated that strict disciplinary measures will be enforced against any involvement in bribery. Accountability and integrity remain top priorities.
A statement from the DIG’s office emphasized that the police department is a disciplined organization where honesty is paramount. It stressed that the continued presence of corrupt personnel not only undermines public trust but also tarnishes the reputation of honest officers within the force.
