Security breaches enabled gangster's TV interview; officers face consequences
A special investigation team found significant security breaches during gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's TV interview filmed inside a CIA office, leading to the suspension and dismissal of several police officers. The investigation revealed unauthorized access and protocol violations. The probe revealed that the Anti-Gangster Task Force had "unbridled and undocumented access" to Bishnoi, who used a phone and Wi-Fi during the interview. Seven officers were suspended, including a DSP who was later dismissed, and the investigation highlighted failures in security protocols and supervision. The SIT's findings prompted recommendations for departmental action and addressed systemic issues within the AGTF. The report also criticized senior officers for failing to ensure proper security measures and for inadequate supervision of the officers involved.
