Ex-DSP Faces Probe for Assets, Bishnoi Interview Scandal
Imagine a police officer named Gursher Singh who earned a certain amount of money.
However, he spent way more than he earned.
It's like spending ten times what you make!
Now, the police think he got the extra money in a wrong way.
He's also in trouble for letting a gangster give a TV interview.
Before that he was using his position to make people sell land for cheaper prices, and then selling that land for a higher price.
The police are now trying to catch him because he's been accused of wrongdoings.
Former Punjab DSP Gursher Singh faces a case for possessing assets disproportionate to his income.
Investigations revealed Singh spent approximately Rs 2.59 crore over three years while earning around Rs 26 lakh.
Singh was dismissed from service in October 2024 after arranging a controversial interview of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
He is also accused of misusing his position to coerce victims into selling land at low prices.
Multiple raids are underway to apprehend Singh, with reports indicating he may have fled abroad.
