Punjab Suspends Amritsar Rural SSP Over Gangster Inaction

In Punjab, the police chief of Amritsar Rural, Maninder Singh, has been suspended.

The government says he wasn't doing enough to stop gangsters in his area.

This suspension happened right after an election in Tarn Taran.

During that election, the police chief of Tarn Taran, Ravjot Kaur Grewal, was also suspended by election officials.

She was accused of being unfair and misusing her power to help the ruling party.

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) party complained that the police were harassing their members and making up charges against them.

However, a local police report disagreed, saying the SAD's complaints were not true and the police were doing their regular job.

Election officials found problems with how the police acted in several districts, not just Tarn Taran.

Now, a new police chief is in charge of Tarn Taran, and another senior officer is investigating the claims of unfair arrests.
