A police sub-inspector has landed in trouble, after he uploaded a picture of himself with his former boss, on social media. His boss being former commissioner of police, Mumbai, Dr Satyapal Singh, who was in Nalasopara, campaigning for former police inspector Pradeep Sharma. An objection was raised to the officer's picture, claiming that by uploading it he was influencing people to vote for Sharma. The PSI was suspended, as it turns out that though he met Dr Singh at Sharma's rally, he has not joined duty since he was transferred recently, claiming to be sick.
PSI Hitendra Vichare from Palghar police was suspended by the Palghar District superintendent of police after allegedly violating 'The Representation of the People Act, 1951,' by posting the picture with Dr Singh, who is a Member of Parliament from the BJP. Someone had alerted the Tulinj police, who registered a case against Vichare. Palghar SP Gaurav Singh confirmed his suspension.
