Nagpur: The Maharashtra government on Monday announced it will take action against Hasan Gafoor, who was Mumbai’s Police Commissioner during the November terror attacks on the city, for allegedly accusing four senior police officers of neglecting their duties during the carnage.
Gafoor, who is now Director General of Police, Housing, had breached discipline by making allegations against his colleagues to the media, said Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil.
Gafoor allegedly told a news magazine that four officers--K L Prasad, Deven Bharti, Parambir Singh and K Venkatesham--refused certain tasks during the terror attacks. Gafoor has denied making the allegations.
Gafoor could have made his allegations before the Ram Pradhan panel which probed the response of the Mumbai police during the attack, said Patil. The panel report will be tabled on the floor of the Assembly on December 21, he said.
Patil also said that 10 persons who were handling the file relating to procurement of bullet proof jackets for Mumbai police will be placed under suspension after questions were raised about its efficacy.
Patil's remarks came while replying to a discussion on the Opposition resolution on what they called deteriorating law and order situation in the state.
