LUCKNOW: UP government Monday shunted ASP (rural areas), Bahraich, Pavitra Mohan Tripathi . Sources said he was removed for failing to control the flare-up in Bahraich during Durga idol immersion despite having a section of PAC and other forces at his disposal.
Tripathi, who was attached to DGP headquarters in Lucknow, is the second gazetted officer — after deputy SP Rupendra Gaur — to be shunted out of Bahraich since the October 13 violence in which a 22-year-old man, Ram Gopal Mishra , was shot dead.
Violence erupted in Bahraich on October 13 following a dispute between two communities during Durga idol immersion procession. Next day, a large crowd that gathered for Mishra’s last rites went berserk and torched several vehicles at an automobile showroom and vandalised a hospital. Police station in-charge of Hardi, SK Verma , and sub-inspector Shiv Kumar, who was in-charge of Maharajganj police outpost where the violence took place, were suspended for dereliction of duty. Gaur, too, was suspended on the basis of a report of intelligence failure.
