New Delhi: More than 100 officers and men of Delhi Police have come under departmental scanner this year for alleged irregularities while performing their duties.

Replying to a RTI application, Delhi Police has accepted that Departmental Inquiry (DI) was initiated against its 124 officers ranking Inspector and below in the first six months of this year.

Among them, 26 are inspectors including three women, 21 sub-inspectors and assistant sub inspectors, 27 head constables and 29 constables.

Official sources say that a number of senior officers like ACPs were also facing departmental probe for alleged dereliction of duties. But the exact number of such personnel was not revealed by the Department.

Most of the policemen facing DEs are field officers, the sources said.

A senior officer said action was being taken against the erring officers. "Administration is aware of all these things. We take necessary action after analysing individual cases," the officer said.

The punishment, if proven guilty, ranges from losing increment, demotion to even suspension, he said.
