Prayagraj: In a major disciplinary action, the Prayagraj police commissionerate on Wednesday night attached 44 policemen, including nine sub-inspectors and five head constables, to the reserve police lines for alleged dereliction of duty during chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s visit to the city on Sept 14. According to police officials, the personnel had been deployed on reserve duty for the VVIP visit but allegedly left their designated posts before the chief minister departed from the venue. A senior officer said a surprise check by senior police officials found the policemen absent from their duty points. Explanations have been sought from all 44 personnel, and further action will be taken based on their replies.
