The Story in Brief
Times of India reports that a woman police constable and three ministerial staff attached to Bengaluru city police commissioner's office have been suspended for allegedly leaking details of a proposal to create five commissionrates for the city. The four were responsible for sending a soft copy of the proposal to the office of the director general and inspector general of police. One of them downloaded the file to his mobile and shared it with others, who then circulated it outside. The department has suspended them on charges of dereliction of duty.
The Indian Opinion
Some will dismiss this as a routine disciplinary action, but the leak of a sensitive proposal from the police commissioner's office raises bigger questions. The suspended staff are low-level functionaries, convenient scapegoats for a systemic lapse in data security. The real test is whether a full inquiry traces how the document reached outsiders, or whether the matter is quietly buried. Who, if anyone, authorised the creation of those five commissionerates in the first place?
