Kolkata Police Inspector Suspended for Objectionable Post Against CM on WhatsApp Group

KOLKATA. Kolkata Police Inspector Eklakh Ahmed has been suspended for making derogatory comments about Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari in a WhatsApp group. These instructions were issued by Police Commissioner Ajay Kumar Nanda. Simultaneously, a departmental inquiry has been initiated into why a government employee made derogatory comments about the government and the Chief Minister. During the suspension period, the officer will receive only half salary. Inspector Eklakh Ahmed, in-charge of the police outpost at Kolkata Medical College, was recently transferred from the 'Central Division' to the first battalion of the City Armed Police. He has been suspended effective from November 9. Inspector Eklakh Ahmed is accused of making a series of abusive comments during a discussion on a Kolkata Police WhatsApp group, creating an uproar. However, he deleted his comment from the group shortly after and also apologized. By then, it had already gone viral on social media. Earlier, strict action was taken against two DCPs of Kolkata Police. These included DC North-3 Vidhan Saha and DC Port-2 Parth Pratim Das. Following the incident, Police Commissioner Ajay Kumar Nanda sent a clear message that police officers must always be cautious while using social media. Because if any wrong message goes out from the administration, it has a negative impact on society. Therefore, everyone should be careful before posting any statement or video on social media. Despite this, Inspector Eklakh Ahmed was suspended for making 'objectionable' comments against the state's Chief Minister on social media.
