PNP Subofficer Suffers Severe Brain Injury After 4-Meter Fall During Banned Cleaning Task at San Juan de Miraflores Station

Prosecutors are reviewing whether an improper cleaning order caused the fall.

Overview

  • Roger Quispe Aranda fell from a first-floor skylight area while cleaning windows at the Pamplona II station, suffering a severe traumatic brain injury that left him unable to speak or recognize family and with paralysis on his right side.
  • Family and counsel cite PNP Directive 541-2016, which bars assigning subofficers to non-police duties such as cleaning, and argue the order violated regulations and suggests possible negligence or abuse of authority.
  • El Comercio reports the officer was told to report in sportswear, assigned to clean without safety equipment or training, and transported to a hospital in a patrol truck after an ambulance delay.
  • The family filed a criminal complaint with the Primera Fiscalía Penal Corporativa de San Juan de Miraflores as internal police inquiries proceed, and Captain Lisset Quispe stated the case is under investigation.
  • According to case documents cited by El Comercio, the captain who allegedly gave the cleaning order faces a complaint for abuse of authority and serious injuries, while the family says they received inconsistent initial explanations and still need support for a titanium plate and rehabilitation.
