Seven cyber cell officers suspended for tracking female SP’s mobile phone location
By MYBRANDBOOK
Seven officers from the cyber cell which includes a sub-inspector have been suspended after they secretly traced Bhiwadi Superintendent of Police (SP) Jyeshtha Maitreyi’s location.
Though the identity of the individual who ordered this surveillance is not known, immediate action was taken against the officers.
As per sources, the mobile of the SP was under surveillance for a few weeks before the issue came to her attention on October 6.
She lodged an official complaint with the police headquarters after finding out that the officers responsible for tracing her location were part of her own team.
A departmental inquiry was launched. SP Maitreyi suspended Cyber Cell Sub-Inspector Shravan Joshi, along with Head Constable Avnish Kumar and constables Rahul, Satish, Deepak, Bhim, and Rohitash with the approval of the headquarters.
In a public statement, SP Maitreyi expressed her disappointment: “I have been performing my duties honestly. I never imagined that officers from my own department would betray me like this, and I had no idea they were tracing my location.”
Rajasthan DGP UR Sahu also addressed the media, confirming that the investigation is ongoing. “If anyone is found guilty, appropriate action will be taken in accordance with the law,” he stated.
A detailed investigation is being conducted by the police headquarters to determine who else might be involved in the illegal tracing of the SP's phone location. Further details are awaited as the investigation unfolds.
Maitreyi passed the Civil Services Examination in 2017. After training, in 2018, her first posting in the Rajasthan cadre was as an ASP in Girwa Circle of Udaipur. In the second posting, she was appointed as Bhilwara ASP and then as DCP Crime in Jaipur.
