Lakhimpur Kheri (The Hawk): The Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh has been rocked by reports of a police sub-inspector eloping with a schoolgirl.
It is reported that Jogendra Singh, who is employed as the chowki in-charge in Palia, eloped with the girl two days ago.
Singh was demoted for failing to notify higher-ups about his continued absence from work. In Lucknow, the girl's father filed a complaint in this respect, identifying the police officer.
Sources claim that Singh had become friends with the girl and was frequently seen with her.
