The Government Railway Police (GRP) has started a inquiry against suspended police constable Subodh Yadav who had used Anna Hazare’s platform at Ramlila Maidan to level charges against top police officials in UP.
Subodh Yadav, who is facing suspension for the ninth time, had appeared at the dais at Ramlila Maidan last week in uniform and accused his seniors of corruption.
Yadav faced action after he formed the UP Police Welfare Association that was later banned by the state government.
