The incident was unfortunate, we often used to meet him and asked if there was any problem he was facing, DK Garg, Commandant CAF19 th Battalion said to FPJ over the phone.

Around six months back, the officer was suspended over the complaints of demanding money from his subordinate constables. He was also issued a charge-sheet and departmental enquiry was going on against him.
