Mysuru: Can a junior Police officer investigate a criminal case against his senior? No, says the rule book. There is a written rule in this regard in the Police Manual and as per the set tradition, the junior officer will not subject his superior officer to any investigation.
Following the set standard, Mysuru City Police Commissioner K.T. Balakrishna (DIG rank) has expressed his helplessness in launching a probe against his senior and former City Top Cop Dr. A. Subramanyeswara Rao, who is an IGP-rank officer. Balakrishna has written to Neelamani N. Raju, Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG&IGP) on July 15 in this regard.
