Kolkata Police inspector suspended over alleged objectionable remarks against Bengal CM

Kolkata, Nov 10 (UNI) The Kolkata Police headquarters at Lalbazar has suspended Inspector Eklakh Ahmed over alleged objectionable remarks about the West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari in a WhatsApp group.
An order to this effect was issued by Kolkata Police Commissioner Ajay Nand on Monday night.
The order stated that an investigation would be conducted into the alleged derogatory comments made by the inspector about the government and the Chief Minister, given his position as a government employee. Ahmed will receive half his salary during the suspension period, according to the order.
The incident reportedly stemmed from an exchange in a Kolkata Police WhatsApp group, during which Ahmed allegedly made a series of objectionable remarks about the Chief Minister. The comments triggered a controversy among members of the group.
The inspector later deleted the messages and apologised. However, screenshots of the posts subsequently circulated on social media, following which the police headquarters initiated action against him.
Lalbazar had earlier taken action against two Deputy Commissioners of Kolkata Police — Bidhan Saha, DC (North-III), and Partha Pratim Das, DC (Port-II) — over controversial remarks on social media.
Following those incidents, Commissioner Ajay Nand had cautioned police personnel against making inappropriate posts or sharing videos online, emphasising that such conduct could have wider repercussions for the administration and society.
Ahmed has now been suspended over the alleged remarks in the WhatsApp group. UNI BGA NST CDS
