DSP among two Punjab Police officials dismissed
Chandigarh, July 2: Two Punjab police personnel, including Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Daljit Singh Dhillon, have been dismissed from service over serious allegations of pushing women into drugs, a police official said.
The dismissal orders of Dhillon, who was posted as DSP Ferozepur, were issued by Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday while Head Constable Inderjit Singh was dismissed by Commissioner of Police Jalandhar.
Dhillon was placed under suspension on June 28 following charges of pushing a Ludhiana woman into drug abuse, while Inderjit Singh had been under suspension since September 2017 in the wake of similar charges by a Jalandhar woman, who had also accused him of sexual exploitation on pretext of marriage.
"The dismissal orders of Dhillon came after legal examination of the fact-finding inquiry conducted by Anita Punj, Director, Punjab Police Academy, Phillaur, and based on the statement of the concerned woman," a police spokesman said on Monday.
Dhillon has been booked by police on charges of rape and various sections of the NDPS Act.
"The officer was found indulging in highly undesirable and morally corrupt activities while posted at Tarn Taran, and, misusing his official position and power vested in him as a gazetted police officer by raping a girl and alluring her into drugs," the spokesman said.
The spokesman said that the Jalandhar woman had raised serious allegations against Inderjit Singh on four occasions, though she had retracted her statement in each case saying either that a compromise had been affected or it was given under a misunderstanding. She alleged that she had been pushed into drugs by him.

Power struggle in ruling Cong has 'created massive confusion' in Karnataka: BJP leader Ashoka
Bengaluru (PTI): BJP leader R Ashoka on Friday claimed that the ongoing power struggle between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar has created massive confusion in Karnataka.
He remarked that the proverb “when two people fight, the third one benefits” has come true, as AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge is also now making efforts to become Chief Minister.
Speaking to reporters here, Ashoka said the entire government has turned into a house of confusion due to the alleged power tussle.
Kharge’s new statement has only added to the chaos, he said.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge had on Friday said that no date has been fixed yet to discuss possible leadership change in Karnataka.
This came a day after Kharge said there was no change of CM in Karnataka "for now" and that the leadership issue in the state would be resolved soon.
The BJP leader said that Kharge too has aspirations and that he was cheated earlier.
"Perhaps he has received a green signal from the Congress high command to become CM. Everyone is already saying Kharge should become CM. Kharge himself has declared, “I am ready to become CM.” Despite many attempts in the past, he never became CM. Now he is trying to seize the opportunity," the Leader of Opposition in the state assembly said.
According to him, the situation in Congress has perfectly become a case of “two people fighting, third one benefits.”
