Zhao Liping, former police chief of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and put under further investigation.

The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) has said that Zhao took advantage of his posts to seek benefits for businesses and officials in addition to accepting large bribes. Zhao also possessed guns and ammunition illegally and is suspected of involvement in a murder case.

He was detained in March.
