PUNE:
Suspended
police constable couple Dinesh and Tarkeshwari Rathod, who had faked about
scaling Mount Everest in May 2016, have been dismissed from the police service,
a senior official said.
The couple had been suspended from Pune police in
November last year after an inquiry conducted by a fact-finding committee set
up by police found that their claims were misleading and bogus, and it was
confirmed that they had faked about the ascent.
“The couple faked about the Everest ascent, morphed
the photographs, shared misleading information and while doing this, brought
disrepute to the Maharashtra police department and did not report to duty.
Based on the inquiry, we dismissed the couple from the department and an order
to this effect was issued on Saturday,” said Sahebrao Patil, Additional Commissioner
of police (Admin) of Pune police.
The couple had been issued a show-cause notice in
May this year and they were asked why they should not be dismissed from the
services, he added. Dinesh and Tarkeshwari, posted at Shivajinagar police
headquarters in the city, had claimed on June 5 last year that they have become
the first Indian couple to scale the Everest.
A group of local mountaineers had later claimed that
couple was never at the summit and alleged that they had faked their expedition
by morphing photographs, which showed them at the Everest peak. In August 2016,
the Nepal government had reportedly banned the entry of Dinesh and Tarkeshwari
in Nepal for 10 years.
Following a complaint against the Rathods, an
inquiry was ordered into the allegations and the city police had also written
to the Nepal government to investigate the claim. Surendra Shelke, one of the
complainants and secretary of a city-based mountaineering association, had
alleged that the couple had morphed the pictures and there were several
discrepancies in the version given about the summit, which could prove the
falseness of the claim.
