Muktsar, June 9

The Muktsar district police chief recently transferred the entire staff of the Doda police post in Gidderbaha assembly segment.

SSP Gurpreet Singh Gill termed the transfers as routine, but sources said the step followed the allegations that the cops had sought bribe from some persons involved in an illegal activity.

Those transferred on June 6 included six head constables, including a munshi, and two constables. Police post incharge Pritam Singh was earlier shifted on May 31.

When contacted, Rajinder Sharma, the new incharge of the police post, said, “I assumed charge on June 6. I am unaware of the reasons behind the transfers. The action may have been taken on the basis of a complaint.”

The SSP said, “The new police post incharge was told to bring the staff of his choice. That explains the transfers.”
