The State government has placed Commandant of the elite Special Force- 10, Gabriel K Iangrai under suspension.
Home Minister Lahkmen Rymbui today informed about the suspension and said that the law will take its own course and all legal procedures will be followed.
The arrest of the tainted MPS officer was based on the FIR lodged against him regarding the financial scandals in the construction of National Emergency Response System (NERS), Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) at the Shillong Sadar Police Station.
The FIR was lodged against Iangrai following findings of an internal inquiry led by the Deputy Inspector General (Eastern Range).
Iangrai is accused of abusing his official position flouted the established procedures and “misappropriated funds to the tune of above Rs 35 lakh by submitting forged vouchers, utilisation certificates, etc and using them as genuine, causing loss to the State”.
The scandals involving Iangrai were mainly during his tenure as Assistant Inspector General (Administration) in the Police Headquarters.
