Two policemen suspended for not registering FIR after family lodged missing complaintTwo police personnel, including a station house officer, were suspended for not registering an FIR on a complaint from the family of a missing Dalit girl who was found dead in a field in Basti district on Sunday. The family of the girl suspects she was kidnapped and raped before being murdered. On November 12, her family informed the Kalwari police station, said Basti SP Hemraj Meena. The local SHO and a ‘halka’ in-charge were suspended for “not taking the matter seriously” when the family informed them about the missing girl, said the SP. A relative of the girl told media that worms were crawling out of the mouth of the corpse when he spotted it.
