Jail guard suspended for assaulting inmates in MP’s Bhind

Bhind, June 5 (UNI) A jail guard was suspended for allegedly beating inmates at the Lahar sub-jail in Bhind district of Madhya Pradesh, official sources said.
According to official information, the district administration received a complaint accusing jail guard Sonu Singh Kushwah of physically abusing inmates without reason.
An investigation revealed that on the night of May 30, the jail guard beat inmates with a stick. Bhind Collector Sanjeev Shrivastava directed the in-charge tehsildar Amit Dubey to conduct an inquiry, which found red and blue marks on the inmates' bodies, confirming the physical abuse.
During the investigation, the accused guard claimed he was on leave, but no leave application was produced. This indicated that the guard not only physically abused inmates while on duty but also showed negligence in his official responsibilities.
Collector Shrivastava took action under the Madhya Pradesh Civil Services (Conduct) Rules 1965 and Classification Control and Appeal Rules 1966 and suspended Sonu Singh Kushwah on Wednesday.
During the suspension period, the guard will be stationed at Bhind headquarters, where he will receive a subsistence allowance as per rules.
