Yet another Assam Police official has been dismissed from service on corruption charges. Assam Director General of Police (DGP) GP Singh informed this through a tweet on Sunday.

The officer dismissed from duty is a tainted Sub-Inspector (SI) named Dhiraj Jyoti Namasudra. He was serving at the Gohpur Police Station in Biswanath district of Assam.
