The Firozabad police have ordered a probe into the quality of meals served at the district police lines following the viral video of a constable complaining about the poor quality of meals being served at the mess.
SP (Firozabad) Ashish Tiwari has directed Circle Officer (City) Abhishek Srivastava to conduct the inquiry.
In a tweet, Firozabad police said that constable Manoj Kumar, who is seen in the viral video complaining about the food quality, has faced disciplinary action on 15 occasions in the last few years for varied reasons from being absent to indiscipline and negligence.
Manoj Kumar is a 2018-batch police constable of the UP Police.
In the video, a weeping Kumar with a plate full of food is heard alleging that the food quality is so bad that “even animals cannot eat”. The constable then goes on to allege that no one in the police department was ready to listen to their complaint and that he has being pressured. He added that when he tried to complain about the matter to the DGP, his PSO advised him to disconnect the phone or else he could be sacked. Kumar claimed that constables were committing suicide because they are being pressured.
The officials stated that food for around 100 cops is prepared in the mess. The authorities have also initiated an inquiry into the incident and will take further action after on the basis of the inquiry report.
