The city Police Commissioner's crackdown on dishonest cops continues, but not without some hiccups - ranging from rumours about an alleged suicide attempt to claims of more corrupt officers not being transferred as part of the drive.

The rumour about the suicide attempt began in Malvani, after a female constable at the station was issued her transfer order. It has been alleged that she was so unhappy with the decision that she threatened to kill herself and even tried to hang herself with a dupatta in the north region control room on Tuesday morning, before being brought back by colleagues. The matter reached senior police officials who even initiated an inquiry. However, Rajesh Pradhan, additional commissioner of the north region, and Sangramsingh Nishandar, DCP, Zone 11, denied the incident.
