A senior police officer of Punjab has been sacked for facilitating the recording of an interview with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi by a private television channel while he was in the custody of the CIA (Crime Investigation Agency) in Kharar.<\/p>\n
The action came after a probe by a Special Investigation Team. The state police chief said Gursher Singh Sandhu has “severely dented the image of the department “with his misconduct, negligence and dereliction of duty. \u00a0<\/p>\n
While reviewing the matter, the state government, too, came to the same conclusion and issued an order for his dismissal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bishnoi’s interviews were conducted while he was in police custody. One of these was at the \u00a0CIA staff premises Kharar, and was aired by a private news channel in March 2023.<\/p>\n
The dismissal orders, which cited Article 311 of the Constitution, made special mention of his uncooperative attitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“It is not reasonably practicable to hold an inquiry into the chargesheet issued to Gursher Singh Sandhu, PPS (under suspension), in view of the non-cooperative attitude of the officer,” the order read.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It cited how the officer refused to accept a copy of the chargesheet against him and how it had to be affixed to his doorstep”.<\/p>\n
Lawrence Bishnoi, arrested in 2014, has made the rounds of various jails of the country including Delhi’s Tihar jail. Currently he is in Sabarmati’s Central Jail.
