Jaipur Police Commissioner Sachin Mittal has dismissed four recruit constables from service for prolonged unauthorised absence and for failing to report for important assignments, including election-related duties, despite receiving explicit orders, IANS reported on Friday. The formal dismissal orders were issued by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Headquarters) Anushtha Kalia.

The dismissed personnel have been identified as Lokesh Kashyap (Recruit Constable No. 10033), Vijay Singh (Recruit Constable No. 4049), Mohri Lal (Recruit Constable No. 7997) and Bajrang Lal (Recruit Constable No. 7346). According to police, the four had remained absent from duty for an extended period without obtaining official permission and also failed to report for important assignments, including election duty, despite clear instructions from the department.

Failure to report for election duty is serious indiscipline: Mittal

Commissioner Mittal said discipline is the highest priority in the police force and that every personnel must comply with official orders and perform their duties with responsibility. He said failing to report for an important assignment such as election duty amounts to serious indiscipline, and that unauthorised absence affects not only operational arrangements but also the overall discipline and efficiency of the force.

The Jaipur Police Commissionerate said the action is meant to send a message that negligence, prolonged unauthorised absence and disregard for official orders will invite strict disciplinary consequences, and reiterated that maintaining discipline and accountability among personnel is essential for the effective functioning of the force.
