Case of the police and military officers who allegedly robbed some expatriates last month has been sent to the Prosecutor General's (PG) Office for prosecution. Two military officers, four police officers and two Bangladeshi nationals were taken into custody for the robbery around 5.30 in the morning of June 8.
Police Commissioner Abdulla Riyaz on Tuesday said that the case has been sent to the PG after completing the investigation and that the case had also been filed with the disciplinary board. Riyaz said that even if the case involves policemen, police do not adopt a policy of “putting a lid†on and ignoring such cases.
“There won’t be a single case that will go uninvestigated. If there is a complaint against the police, it will be looked in to and made public,†Commissioner said.
The people were arrested during a police joint operation with the military after various complaints received of a group entering lodgings of foreign expatriates and forcibly taking away money and other expensive items, police detailed.
Police revealed that the suspects confessed to having stolen money and other valuables from foreign workers on several occasions.
Haveeru had found that a police special operations team member and an investigations officer were among the arrested in the raid on the foreign expatriate residence located within the alley of State Bank of India.
