The Story in Brief
The Punjab government has removed Amritsar Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar from his post on Friday. No reason was given for the removal. Harmanbir Singh, currently DIG of the Border Range in Amritsar, has been given additional charge of the city police chief until further orders.
Officials have not said whether the move is part of a wider administrative reshuffle or linked to any specific development. Details of Bhullar's next posting or a permanent appointment for the Amritsar police commissioner are awaited.
The Indian Opinion
Silent removals of police chiefs are nothing new, but the lack of any explanation feeds whispers of political meddling. The Punjab government should say whether Bhullar's ouster was routine or performance-related. Watch for his next posting: a demotion would signal trouble, a lateral move suggests a shuffle. Otherwise, the cloud of suspicion stays over Chandigarh.
