Two DRI officials have been suspended following allegations of illegal detention, bribe demand and misconduct in a case of duty evasion involv-ing import of insecticides. The action was taken against senior intelligence officer Deepak Kumar and inspector Chetan Parikh. DRI had detained Shailesh Vyas on Sept 30 for nearly 10 hours at Kolkata airport without any lookout circular or arrest warrant. His wife complained to DRI that Kumar and Parekh sought Rs 50 lakh “to settle the matter”.
