After over a month of the Rajkot TRP Game Zone tragedy, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) took action against more police officers and suspended Police Inspectors (PI) VS Vanzara and JV Dhola, who were on duty at the Rajkot taluka police station in 2021, for negligent in not conducting raids on the game zone that fell under their jurisdiction.

The state Director General of Police Vikas Sahay on July 3 ordered the suspension of PI Vanzara and PI Dhola after the SIT submitted a report to the state home department.

During their tenure in 2021 at Rajkot Taluka police, the officers had not checked the illegal game zone in their jurisdictions, revealed the SIT report. 

Following the Gujarat High Court’s order, a three-member fact-finding committee was formed consisting of Manisha Chandra, P Swarup, and Rajkumar Beniwal.

They were tasked with submitting a detailed report to Ashwini Kumar, principal secretary in the Urban Development Department which is likely to be presented in the Gujarat High Court today.
