Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath has suspended an IPS officer posted in Bulandshahr.

Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Awanish Awasthi said that N Kolanchi, who was posted as Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) was found guilty of irregularities in postings of Station House Officers (SHO) in the district which led to corruption charges against him.

The Chief Minister asked the Director General of Police (DGP), OP Singh to carry out a detailed investigation into the matter after the irregularities were found during a review meeting of the district.
