Chandigarh, June 29: Acting on a directive from Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, the Punjab Police have suspended the DSP at the centre of a controversy involving charges of pushing a Ludhiana girl into drugs abuse.
A probe by a senior woman IPS officer has also been ordered into the allegations, according to a police spokesperson.
Taking serious note of the allegations, and in view of the gravity of the charges, the Chief Minister had asked DGP Suresh Arora to ensure a proper inquiry into the matter and stern action against the DSP if found guilty.
Anita Punj, Director PPA, Phillaur, has been directed to conduct a preliminary enquiry into the allegation and submit the report within a week, said the police spokesperson.
The girl from Ludhiana had made the allegation against Daljit Singh, DSP, Ferozepur, to ADCP 3 Ludhiana. Besides Daljit’s suspension pending the inquiry, the Ludhiana Commissioner of Police recommended that the matter be probed by a senior woman IPS officer.
The Chief Minister had earlier in the day announced that the allegations would be probed and if the DSP was found guilty, stern action would be taken against him under the law.
