The Punjab Government today posted DGP Sidharth Chattopadhyaya as the Vigilance Bureau Director.

Chattopadhyaya, who retires in March next year, was allegedly overlooked for the post of state police chief when Capt Amarinder Singh was the CM. The posting had become a major bone of contention between different warring groups in the Congress with PCC chief Navjot Sidhu rooting for him as the police chief.

However, CM Charanjit Channi appointed Inder Preet Singh Sahota as the DGP. Sidhu even resigned from his post to protest the decision. Chattopadhyaya’s appointment comes on a day when Sidhu met a high-level AICC panel in Delhi to resolve issues plaguing the state unit. — TNS
