Seven Delhi Police personnel have been dismissed from service for allegedly allowing Sukesh Chandrashekhar, an arrested middleman in the Election Commission (EC) bribery case, to shop in a mall in Bengaluru, where he had been taken for a court hearing, police said on Monday.

The seven police personnel of the 3rd Battalion were suspended on October 20 and an inquiry was ordered against them.

“After the inquiry report found them guilty of “unprofessional conduct”, they were dismissed from service,” said Dependra Pathak, chief spokesperson of the Delhi Police and Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic).

They have also been booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act (POC), he added.
