AIG Chauhan’s transfer reversed

The Punjab Government has reversed the posting orders of AIG and anti-gangster operations expert Gurmeet Chauhan, who was in the past involved in a controversy surrounding an AAP MLA in Tarn Taran.

He was posted as the Ferozepur SSP on Friday. In fresh orders, he has been asked to continue as the AIG with the Anti-Gangster Task Force.

Earlier, Chauhan was unceremoniously removed as the Tarn Taran SSP after he registered a police case against some supporters of an AAP MLA. However, the police force in Tarn Taran stood by Chauhan and gave him a rousing farewell.

In a major reshuffle in the Punjab Police, 21 senior IPS officers were transferred by the government on Friday. Among the officers transferred seven are Senior Superintendents of Police.
