A shocking case of prolonged dereliction has led to the sacking of Baloda Bazar Constable Rahul Sharma after 311 days of unauthorized absence. Police Superintendent Bhawna Gupta’s directive exemplifies the department’s resolve to enforce ironclad discipline.
From April 5, 2025, Sharma dodged duty without explanation, rebuffing every notice and inquiry opportunity. Scrutiny of his dossier uncovered 14 repeat offenses, exposing a deep-seated apathy toward professional obligations.
The termination draws from robust provisions in the Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules and Chhattisgarh Police regulations. SP Gupta, seasoned from roles in several districts and in position since April 2025, champions such measures alongside visible wins like reclaiming 417 lost mobiles totaling Rs 63 lakh.
Observers hail the move as a disciplinary cornerstone, curbing absenteeism that erodes trust and efficiency. Police brass affirm zero compromise on breaches involving duty evasion and inquiry defiance.
This episode not only purges a repeat offender but also inspires steadfast service among peers. As Baloda Bazar police advance their reform agenda, it underscores a commitment to excellence, ensuring safer streets and stronger community ties across Chhattisgarh.
