Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Taking strict action against 14 trainee constables of the Police Training School in Indore, the Police Headquarters has disqualified them for allegedly using fake and fabricated documents to take leave, said officials here on Friday.
Among the disqualified constables of the 77th batch are 13 women.
According to their schedule, trainees are entitled to only five casual leaves over the nine-month training period. Additionally, ten leaves are given to those trainees who had filled out the examination form before selection for the post of constable.
During the training, one of the trainees was granted a 10-day leave to appear for the exam.
The 14 accused trainees allegedly got the letter, changed the dates, names, and places, and got it approved to proceed on leave.
When the training department got a whiff of the fraud, it instituted an internal enquiry and found the irregularities.
Being disqualified, the trainees have been sent back to the unit where their head, an SP, will decide their future.
Departmental inquiry against five
A departmental inquiry has been instituted against five officers, including two DSPs, for the alleged irregularities. If their unit head decides to forgive the 14 disqualified trainees, they will be inducted into the training in the next batch, said ADG, Training, Raja Babu Singh.
