SHO shifted for ‘stripping 3 at Khanna’

Khanna, April 18

The police today initiated a departmental inquiry and ordered immediate transfer of Khanna Sadar SHO Baljinder Singh, who was accused of stripping three persons at his police station last year.

Action against the SHO was ordered by DGP Dinkar Gupta after a preliminary inquiry by IGP of Ludhiana Range Jaskaran Singh prima facie found the allegations true. A video of the incident had gone viral recently.

Gupta said while the SHO had been transferred with immediate effect to Ferozepur Range, a regular departmental inquiry had also been initiated against him.

The fact-finding inquiry was assigned to Jaskaran Singh by the DGP on April 16 after the objectionable video clip went viral on the social media. — OC
