India: Police Officer Threatens to Expose Corruption, Sent to Mental Hospital
A high-ranking police police officer in the state who had threatened to expose
corruption was forcibly taken from his office and sent to a mental hospital on
Friday November 4, sources said.
DIG Devendra Dutt Mishra of the Uttar Pradesh Fire Service Department had
claimed massive misappropriation of funds in the purchase of fire services
equipment and had threatened to expose relevant files as evidence.
He had said that corruption was rampant in the state government departments,
adding that senior bureaucrats were also involved. "Top officers demanded cut
and commission on the purchases made by the fire services department recently,"
he alleged.
Mishra told reporters that he was a supporter of Anna’s campaign against
corruption, and added that he would follow the Gandhian ways despite knowing
he would be punished for speaking against corruption.
"Every one in the state government knows that I am an upright police officer and
would not budge to the undue orders of the senior officers". He also expressed
fears that a consipiracy may be plotted to malign his name.
While Mishra was sent to mental hospital, the Mayawati-led government also
ordered an enquiry into his claims.
If what he claims is true, Mishra should have approached the senior officers and
not the media, said a spokesperson of the state government.
UP police said they had no formal complaint from Mishra, except against two
constables who had claimed eligibility for gallantry awards by fradulent means.
Mishra is due to retire in two years.
