CID arrests two police officers

News, Nation

Kolkata: The CID tonight arrested two police officers, apparently close to former IPS officer Bharati Ghosh, for their alleged involvement in misconduct and extortion from civilians, a senior CID officer said.

Inspector Subhankar De and sub inspector Chitta Pal were arrested in ongoing operations of the Daspur case, the officer told PTI.

Police carried out the raid following a court order after a person complained that some police personnel had forcefully taken money from him last year, the officer said.

Ghosh, who was the West Midnapore SP, had resigned from the services after she was transferred to a less significant post - the commandant of the third battalion of the state armed police - in late December last year.  PTI
