Probe into top cops after Mumbai attacks
Two senior police officers are to be investigated for their role in dealing with the Mumbai attacks, the state government here said, amid calls for their removal from office.
Ashok Chavan, chief minister of Maharashtra state, of which Mumbai is the main city, said state police chief AN Roy and his city police counterpart Hassan Gafoor would be probed for any shortcomings in their response.
"A high-level inquiry will be conducted and the responsibility will be fixed on the officers if they were found guilty of any lapses," Chavan told a meeting of the state legislature Wednesday, according to media reports.
But he said the investigation would only begin once police questioning of the lone gunmen captured alive in last month's attacks was complete.
