Nanak Singh posted as new Ropar Range DIG

Nanak Singh, a 2011-batch IPS officer of the Punjab cadre, has been posted as the new Ropar Range Deputy Inspector General (DIG).

AGTF Ludhiana AIG Sandeep Goel, a 2011 batch IPS officer, will look after the work of DIG Border Range Amritsar, in addition to DIG AGTF, Punjab.

Ropar Range DIG Harcharan Bhullar was placed under suspension on October 16 after the CBI arrested him in a Rs 8 lakh bribery case. Bhullar, who is in judicial custody, was held from his Mohali office following a complaint by a Fatehgarh Sahib-based scrap dealer, who accused the IPS officer of demanding monthly payment for “settling” a 2023 FIR against him.

During searches at Bhullar's residence, the CBI seized Rs 7.5 crore in cash and 2.5 kg of gold jewellery.
