Warangal: A sub-inspector in Warangal is facing disciplinary action after a police motorcycle assigned for emergency response duties was allegedly used to operate bike taxi services, according to police officials.
Allotted to the Enumamula police station Blue Colts team, the bike was allegedly used by SI Shankar’s son Siddharth as a taxi, according to media reports.
On Tuesday, a customer booked a bike taxi from Ambedkar Junction to Subedari. When the ‘taxi’ arrived, it had police markings. The customer then asked the rider about it and even recorded their conversation.
In the video circulating on social media, the rider allegedly admitted that the bike belonged to a police officer and
that he was using it as a taxi.
Enumamula CI J Suresh confirmed that the bike was allotted to SI Shankar for official duties. “We found that the SI’s son was using it to operate rides. We cautioned the SI and submitted a report to the Warangal police commissioner recommending
disciplinary action against him,” he said.
Police personnel attached to Warangal, Hanamkonda, and Kazipet police stations were provided bikes to help them respond faster to emergencies and distress calls.
