Kasargod, October 3: A senior police official here was suspended for 'his suspected involvement in conspiracy' with burglars to loot jewellery shops in the district, Superintendent of Police S. Surenderan has said.
O.T. Firoz, a member of the District Crime Squad, was placed under suspension, pending inquiry, on Monday.
The official was placed under suspension after he admitted links with thieves involved in stealing around 8.50 quintals of rubber sheets from Mattannur in Kannur district two months back.
They were also involved in various burglary cases, Mr. Surendran said, adding that cases against the police official would be framed only on completion of the investigation. Mr. Surendran ruled out an immediate recast of the squad, which had been constituted to investigate a series of burglaries in jewellery shops and banks in the district.
