A Rohania police station constable has been suspended after a complaint of alleged misbehaviour at the Pandeypur outpost, DCP (Varuna) Rajesh Kumar Pandey confirmed on Thursday, framing the action as a departmental response to unauthorised movement and conduct.

The constable has been identified as Ranu Kumar, posted at Rohania. Police said he left his Rohania jurisdiction without permission from a competent officer, reached the Pandeypur outpost area and became involved in the disputed incident. Officials described the conduct under review as gross negligence, indiscipline and unauthorised presence outside his station limits. Departmental proceedings have been initiated alongside the suspension.

Inspector Atul Kumar Singh of Lalpur-Pandeypur said a dispute involving the Rohania constable had taken place at the Pandeypur chowki. After word spread, a crowd gathered at the Lalpur-Pandeypur police station seeking action. Officers spent hours persuading people to disperse; the gathering broke late at night even as rain continued. The suspension order followed the subsequent inquiry by the Varuna zone DCP.

This desk is publishing the administrative facts only: the named constable, his parent station, the Pandeypur outpost location, the DCP’s suspension, the inspector’s confirmation of a chowki dispute, and the departmental proceedings. Allegations of misbehaviour remain allegations under inquiry language. No party slogans or opposition statements are part of this brief.

Unauthorised exit from a station’s jurisdiction is itself a disciplinary issue in commissionerate standing orders, separate from whatever personal quarrel triggered the complaint. That is why the DCP’s order stresses both the alleged misconduct and the fact of being present outside Rohania limits without clearance. Night duty charts and wireless logs usually become exhibits in such files; those are internal papers, not public pamphlets.

For residents around Pandeypur and Rohania, the immediate public note is that a suspension has been ordered and a departmental file is open. Shops near the chowki that shut early during the late-night gathering can treat Thursday’s order as the formal response they were waiting to hear named. Any criminal case arising from the same incident would be a separate track and will be reported only if and when an FIR or charge sheet is formally recorded. Until then, treat Thursday’s action as a service matter decided by the Varuna DCP.

The story does not invent hospital captions, blood-alcohol claims or quotes beyond what senior officers have put on record about suspension and jurisdiction. If the departmental proceedings result in a further order — reinstatement, major penalty or criminal reference — that later order will be the next clean update. For now the locked line is simple: Rohania constable Ranu Kumar suspended by DCP Rajesh Kumar Pandey after the Pandeypur outpost complaint, with departmental proceedings on.
