Parmar replaces Rao as Punjab Vigilance chief

The Punjab Government on Wednesday appointed ADGP Surinder Pal Singh Parmar as the Chief Director, Vigilance Bureau, replacing ADGP G Nageswara Rao, who was posted there just a month ago. Rao had replaced DGP Varinder Kumar, who headed the VB for almost three years before he was unceremoniously shunted out. Parmar is known as an experienced investigator.

He has handled several sensitive investigations, including sacrilege cases. He is currently heading the special investigation team (SIT) probe into the Patiala Colonel attack incident.
