Argodah Station Officer Suspended in Ranchi Following Custodial Violence Claims

Ranchi’s police administration is under scrutiny after Zonal IG Manoj Kaushik ordered the suspension of Argodah Police Station Officer Brahmdev Prasad. The action follows disturbing reports of a young man being subjected to severe beatings while confined to the lock-up at the Argodah station. This incident has prompted swift disciplinary action. Earlier, the Senior Superintendent of Police had suspended Sub-Inspector Diwakar Singh in connection with the case. A detailed report regarding the Station Officer’s alleged role was sent to the Zonal IG, culminating in Prasad’s suspension. This move underscores the importance of upholding departmental standards and protecting citizens from police brutality.
