CHANDIGARH, DEC 5

 The Punjab Government, cracking a whip against errant police officers, today suspended three SPs for indiscipline with immediate effect. Disclosing this a spokesman of the Punjab government today said that three SPs namely Jaskirat Singh Chahal, PPS, SP/Operations, Gurdaspur, Paramjit Singh Grewal, PPS, SP/Detective, Batala and Rachpal Singh Ghuman, PPS, SP/Hqrs., Tarn-Taran have been placed under suspension today for indiscipline on the part of these officers on the recommendation of IGP/Border, Amritsar and they have been directed to report to Punjab Police Headquarters.

          The spokesman said that there were many complaints against Sh. Paramjit Singh Grewal, PPS, SP/Det., Batala that he often consumes liquor and creates nuisance in the Police Stations. He was also not discharging his official duties properly and has not made efforts to control or trace crime. Due to his behaviour, the general public was feeling harassed. His actions have brought a bad name to the Police Department which is unbecoming of a police officer.

                   He said that Sh. Jaskirat Singh Chahal, PPS, No. J/5, SP/Ops., Gurdaspur does not take any interest in official work. He does not even put on his uniform. He attends his office as per his own whims and fancies and was not punctual in his duties. He takes liquor even during day time. These acts constitute grave misconduct on his part.

The spokesman further said that Sh. Rachpal Singh Ghuman, PPS, SP/Hqrs., Tarn-Taran is not serious about his job despite being warned repeatedly. Recently he had shown slackness in the security duty of Hon’ble President of India by pretending to be sick. He also did not perform other important security duties at Amritsar. These lapses on his part led to serious security and other problems for police.

                  The Departmental action has been initiated against these three officers, he added.

Earlier, on August 31, 2012, Six most undeserving police officers , two each from Commissionerates of Amritsar, Ludhiana and Jalandhar namely Gurcharan Singh, ACP Central, ASR, Karamjit Singh , ACP Traffic, Asr, Naresh Kumar, Additional DCP/Crime , Jalandhar, Rajinder Singh Cheema, ACP/Crime, Jalandhar, Manjit Singh Dhesi, Additional DCP Ludhiana, Gurmeet Kaur, ACP/Crime , Ludhiana-were removed from active field duties.
