LONDON (TIP): An Indian-origin chief inspector in London’s Scotland Yard police force has been dismissed for “gross misconduct” without notice following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS). Davinder Kandohla was found to have breached Standards of Professional Behavior, amounting to “gross misconduct”, in relation to honesty and integrity, authority, respect and courtesy, duties and responsibilities and discreditable conduct. “The breaches related to failing to declare a conflict of interest while taking part in his own promotion process, providing a misleading account to professional standards officers during an investigation into expenses he had claimed and conduct towards junior members of staff,” the Met Police said in a statement following a misconduct hearing on Sunday. —
