The entire team of SOG has been suspended by SP Krishna Kumar Bishnoi. Eight policemen including the in-charge are involved. There is an allegation of collecting Rs 30 thousand from a scrap dealer and stopping his scrap. On the basis of the complaint, the SP got the investigation done by Sambhal CO Alok Kumar Bhati. The investigation found the matter to be true. In this sequence, suspension action has been taken on Sunday. SP has made Bobindra Sharma in charge of SOG.
Kabadi Zafaruddin, a resident of Bilari, Moradabad, along with his son Aas Mohammad, was going towards Ladam Sarai of Sambhal with a scrap mobile plate on the night of 2nd February at around 9 pm. Meanwhile, the SOG team stopped the junkyard father-son bike and brought it to Chaudhary Sarai, the police post of Sambhal Kotwali area.
The matter was resolved after the intervention of mediators. It is alleged that Rs 30,000 was recovered from the father and son for releasing them as scrap dealers. Also, the team kept the metal that comes out after melting the mobile plate. The scrap metal father and son left during the night but contacted the team on February 3 and asked to return the metal.

Due to this, in-charge SI Mohit Chaudhary, Head Constable Kulwant, Arshad, Constable Ajnabi, Ayush, Vivek, Brijesh and Hiresh have been suspended.

Suspended SOG team had failed in many big cases
The main accused in the murder of BJP leader Gulfam Singh in Junwai police station area was also not caught by the SOG team. Surrendered in Badaun court. Similarly, the accused of murder of two brothers in Dhanari police station area remained absconding for a long time and later surrendered in the court.
Similarly, even after the disappearance of a seven year old girl in Kailadevi police station area, the team could not find any clue. Whereas SOG plays an important role for the police station. But the suspended SOG team had failed in many major cases.
