Mumbai (26.06.2024): The Maharashtra government suspended Quaiser Khalid (IPS: 1997: MH), who was the Commissioner of Government Railway Police (GRP) at the time when approvals were given for the massive hoarding that crashed on May 13 killing 17 people.
The state Home department initiated the disciplinary action against Khalid for alleged ‘administrative lapses’, ‘irregularities’ and ‘misuse of power’ by allowing the massive hoarding without approval from the office of the Director General of Police (DGP). Khalid was currently posted as Additional Director General of Protection of Civil Rights (PCR).
Mumbai police investigators are probing the role of one Arshad Khan, a business associate of Khalid’s wife Sumanna Quaiser Khalid. Khan is suspected to have indirectly received payments from Ego Media Pvt Ltd, the firm that owned the massive hoarding that was approved by Khalid.
The SIT probing the case found that Ego Media Pvt Ltd, which owned the “illegal” 140×120 ft hoarding, remitted Rs 46.5 lakh through 39 transactions into 10 different bank accounts between 2021 and 2022 and later all that money was allegedly withdrawn by one person identified as Arshad Khan, who is a co-director in Mahpara Garments Pvt Ltd along with Sumanna, wife of Quaiser Khalid.
