Jammu and Kashmir Police Thursday ordered an inquiry into a senior police officer allegedly having his shoe-laces tied by an orderly.
State Director General of Police (DGP) K. Rajendra Kumar told IANS that he has ordered a departmental inquiry into the incident.
“Yes, I have ordered an inquiry into the incident. We will wait for the report,” the DGP said.
A huge media controversy erupted Wednesday when some photographs purportedly posted on a social networking site by the son of Jammu-Kathua range DIG Shakeel Baig went viral.
One of the photographs showed a person in civil dress tying the shoe-laces of the officer. Another showed a person with a rifle hanging from his shoulder acting as a golf caddy for the officer’s son.
Tony Baig, the son of the officer, later said in a statement the pictures had been “misinterpreted”.
He said the person shown tying the shoe-laces of his father was a salesman who had come to check the fitting of the officer’s new shoes, and not an orderly deputed with the officer.
