He also ordered a vigilance probe against his “disproportionate assets”.

The action came after the three SIT reports were opened on Raj Jit’s alleged collusion with dismissed cop Inderjit Singh, who “planted money on the innocent to extort money and helped drug smugglers by leaving loopholes in the investigation”.

Inderjit was arrested by ADGP Harpreet Sidhu-led Special Task Force on drugs in 2018 during Capt Amarinder Singh’s government. However, no action was taken against Raj Jit.

CM Mann had announced earlier this month that he had received the reports and would soon take action.
