Four police officers based at the Totogo Police Station have been suspended with half pay and are awaiting internal disciplinary processes for their alleged involvement in an assault case last month.

Acting Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu says the officers allegedly assaulted a man along Milverton Road in Suva during curfew hours.

Claims about the alleged incident first surfaced on facebook and this led Police to carry out a preliminary investigation.

There were injuries on the man’s face.

The Acting Police Commissioner says the organisation will not condone such unprofessional behavior.

Tudravu is urging those who have issues with the conduct of police officers to lodge a complaint with the Police Internal Affairs.
