Pune Police Personnel Penalised for Misusing Investigation Trip for Sightseeing
Three police personnel from Pune's Vishrambaug Police Station, including a female sub-inspector, were penalised after a departmental inquiry found they misused an official domestic violence investigation by turning it into a sightseeing trip to Satara's Kaas Plateau. Their annual salary increments were withheld for two years. The inquiry revealed they neglected proper investigative procedures, spent time at tourist spots, and delayed returning to Pune despite the complainant's requests. The police Commissionerate emphasized maintaining discipline and warned against misuse of official duties.
