Police Recruitment Scam in UP: 3964 more Jawans Fired

The UP Police Recruitment scam took a heavy toll on the jawans yesterday, as the Mayawati government sacked 3,964 more police jawans and suspended 6 more IPS officials, including a DIG. It was alleged that massive irregularities were committed during at least 10 recruitment processes during the Mulayam Singh Yadav regime.

Last week, the government had fired 6,509 new recruits and suspended 12 IPS officers. Mulayam Singh Yadav has termed the dismissal of cops "unconstitutional". The government is also planning to book the politicians if it gets any proof against them. In another development, the Allahabad High Court issued notices to the UP Government on the unprecedented dismissal of the police jawans.
