Suspended cop refuses to draw half salary, sets up tea stall
The cop is identified as police inspector Mohit Yadav. He was temporarily taken off his tasks after a dispute with the Reserve Inspector (RI). According to News18, he is facing a departmental inquiry following the incident along with his suspension.
A video of Yadav standing at his tea stall and preparing the beverage is widely circulated online. It showed the cop from Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh turning into a tea seller in front of the office of the Senior Superintendent of Police.
“I am an inspector in the police. I am in the department, and wherever I go, some incident or the other is created and a departmental investigation is carried out on me. During my suspension period, I wrote a letter to the investigating officers that I would not even take half the salary. I will do my own business. I will run my house from the tea stall only (translated)”, said Yadav while speaking to local media channels.
