SC Slams MP Govt Over Delayed Officer Suspension
The Supreme Court is very unhappy with the Madhya Pradesh government.
Two police officers are accused of causing a man's death while he was in custody.
The court ordered the officers to be arrested long ago.
The officers hadn't been working for months but weren't suspended until recently.
The court believes the government is protecting them and wants to know why they weren't suspended sooner.
The court is also looking into why the officers were still being paid even though they weren't working.
The Supreme Court criticized the Madhya Pradesh government for the delayed suspension of two police officers.
The officers are accused in a custodial death case and had not been reporting to work since April.
The court believes the state is protecting the officers.
The court issued an order on May 15, 2025, for the arrest of responsible police officials.
The officers were suspended on Wednesday, September 24th, after not attending work since April.
