Patna, July 1: Saran police has accused former deputy inspector-general Alok Kumar of forcibly lodging an FIR against senior police officers, including the state’s cop boss, at the SC/ST police station in the district.

The district police have alleged that Alok, a former Saran DIG, lodged an incomplete FIR at the police station on Sunday against director-general of police Abhayanand, inspector-general (operations) Amit Kumar and inspector-general (economic offences unit) Praveen Vashisth for being mentally tortured in the name of caste. A counter FIR has been filed. It mentions Alok “forcibly” filed the FIR and threatened the cops at the station.

Alok lodged the FIR against the officers under different sections of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act of 1989. The FIR also mentions Tunaji Pandey, a liquor trader, who had accused Alok of bribery leading to his suspension.

Sources said the counter FIR has been lodged against Alok at Bhagwan Bazaar police station in Chhapra by assistant sub-inspector Chandramauli Prasad. The district police said the “incomplete” FIR would be produced before court as evidence. Today two cops, including the station house officer of the SC/ST police station, were suspended by Saran superintendent of police Sujit Kumar for not being present at the station when a team had come for investigation.
