COIMBATORE:
A sub-inspector from the city armed reserve (AR) police has been placed
under suspension on Thursday after he misfired his weapon while
removing bullets from the magazine at the armory located at the Police
Recruitment School (PRS) here on Wednesday evening.
The SI, Manimaran, who is attached with the city Armed Reserve police had been deployed along with other personnel for providing round-the-clock security for Abudhakir, an accused in the bomb blast case who has been undergoing treatment at a private hospital here for kidney failure. One SI, one head constable and four constables were deployed every eight hours at the hospital.
As per rules, every policeman needs to remove bullets from the magazine and insert the empty magazine in the pistol and trigger. Only then can he/she surrender the gun.

Likewise, Manimaran removed nine bullets from the magazine and did not notice the other one and pulled the trigger. The bullet damaged the roof of the building. Immediately, a report was sent to the city police commissioner AK Viswanathan.
Based on the report, commissioner Viswanthan suspended Manimaran on Thursday for negligence at work and for mishandling the pistol.
