Food & civil supplies officials suspended

Two inspectors of the Food and Civil Supplies Department, Bathinda, and assistant food and supplies officer (AFSO) have been suspended following their alleged connivance in the sale of rice worth Rs 4.96 crore by the owner of a rice sheller in Gumti Kalan village.


The police had registered a case on June 6 wherein it was alleged that Daljit Singh, the owner of the sheller, had sold the rice brought for shelling. The police booked him and his wife in this regard. The police said the wife seemed to have nothing to do with the sale of rice, as she was not found guilty in the preliminary investigation.


The police had registered a case under various sections of the IPC and also included some concerned officials of the department, who were interrogated during the investigation.
