Srinagar: Two senior police officers allegedly involved in the sex racket in Jammu and Kashmir have been taken off active duty and attached to the offices of their superiors, a police spokesman said.
Superintendent of Police (Baramulla) Ashkoor Wani and Superintendent of Police (Kupwara) Sunil Dutt were attached with the Inspectors General of Police for Kashmir and Jammu respectively, the spokesman said.
Five people, including the alleged kingpin Sabeena, have been arrested so far in connection with the scandal that has triggered widespread protests across the Kashmir Valley over the past week.
The decision to take the two police officers off active duty was taken at a six-hour cabinet meeting last night, which also decided on a reshuffle of middle rung officers.
Thirty-two police and 25 civil officials including eight deputy commissioners were affected by the reshuffle.
The meeting chaired by Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad also approved the promotion of six police officers of the 1987 batch to the rank of inspector general of police, and five officers of the 1992 batch to the rank of deputy inspector general of police.
