"The 58 [sub-inspectors] were served with show-cause notices as per the rules over breach of discipline and were dismissed after they failed to reply satisfactorily,” he said. On Oct 21, 252 cadet sub-inspectors undergoing training at the academy were dismissed for 'causing a commotion over the snacks served’ at the graduation parade rehearsal. Three other SIs from the same batch had been dismissed before the 252 SIs. The graduation parade of the 40th BCS cadre's trainee assistant police superintendents on Sunday was postponed due to 'unavoidable circumstances,' on Oct 20. The postponement occurred even though the home advisor and other high-ups in the home ministry went to Sardah to attend the graduation parade.
