A Superintendent of Police attached to the Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) force is in the dock for allegedly using constables as labourers in the construction of his house in Parappana Agrahara.

Senior officers are verifying footage captured on a mobile phone by an unknown person of the constables at work.

Sources said that using constables for personal work is illegal.

Additional Director General of Police Kamal Pant has ordered an inquiry by a senior officer. A show cause notice has been issued to Superintendent of Police Revanna, attached to the 4{+t}{+h}Battalion, KSRP.

When questioned by seniors, Mr. Revanna reportedly denied the allegation. “We have recorded his statement and also summoned the personnel who were seen in the video footage for questioning,” a senior police officer said.
