Punjab Cop suspended for ‘sharing’ indecent video
Punjab Inspector Gurmeet Singh has been suspended for sharing an indecent video featuring a minor girl and three boys on the social media. This video clip was purportedly shared to justify an act of moral policing by this inspector in January, as per reports. After the video went viral, there was agitation by students and farmers that eventually leading to the death of two policemen, including DSP Baljinder Singh Sandhu and his gunman. The video showed a girl in school uniform in a compromising position with a boy and another filming it. Faridkot SSP Dr Nanak Singh said an inquiry had been initiated in this regard. Being the SHO of the Jaito police station, Gurmeet Singh on January 12 had allegedly picked up three students — two boys and a girl — from the bus stand for creating nuisance on the road after which they were beaten up. By uploading the video, Gurmeet sought to justify his January 12 act of thrashing the trio. Earlier, an investigation had proved him guilty of negligence and dereliction of duty in maintaining law and order in Jaito town. -PTC News
