2 Kolkata DCPs suspended for posting ‘controversial’ content on social media

Two deputy commissioners of Kolkata Police have been suspended for posting “controversial” content on social media, a senior officer said.

The action was taken after an internal review found violations related to social media activity by the two police officers.

“Police personnel, especially senior officers, have been advised to exercise caution while using social media platforms. Any content that may adversely affect public perception or the image of the force is examined as per rules,” the officer said.
