On Saturday, Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Singh said that the Police Officer who had been suspended for keeping a beard despite warnings from his senior was reinstated after he shaved it off.
The cop, Intezar Ali, a Sub-Inspector rank officer posted at Ramala police station had been suspended for lack of discipline on Oct 20.
He had earlier been asked thrice by Abhishek Singh, Baghpat to shave off his beard but to no avail. The matter had been widely reported & had been highly debated in the past few days.
"In Baghpat district a sub-Inspector of police, Intezar Ali, had been suspended because he had kept a beard without permission. Today he forwarded an application to me stating that he has cut his beard as per police manual. Therefore, orders for his reinstatement were issued & he has rejoined duty," Singh told reporters here.
