Kalaburagi: The District Superintendent of Police, Isha Pant, has taken action by suspending three police personnel on charges of dereliction of duty following the tragic attack and murder of a head constable by sand miners in Jewargi taluk. The suspension order was issued on Saturday.

The three personnel who have been suspended in connection with the case are Jewargi Circle Inspector Bheemanagouda Biradar, Nelogi Sub-Inspector Gautham Guttedar, and constable Rajashekhar. The decision to suspend them was made in light of their alleged negligence of duty and failure to take necessary action to address the repeated complaints regarding illegal sand supply in the region.

It is reported that there had been several complaints about illegal sand supply activities occurring near Hullur in Jewargi taluk, but the police inspector failed to initiate a proper investigation into the matter. Similarly, Nelogi Sub-Inspector Guttedar neglected to conduct a field visit to investigate the issue, despite the ongoing complaints.
