REMOVE DGPS ARORA, GUPTA: KHAIRA TO CM

-

JALANDHAR: Leader of opposition Sukhpal Singh Khaira on Saturday demanded the removal of state police chief Suresh Arora and DGP (Intelligen­ce) Dinkar Gupta over allegation­s made against them by DGP Siddharth Chattopadh­yaya.

Addressing a press conference here, the AAP leader also demanded that a high courtmonit­ored CBI inquiry should look into the allegation­s levelled against the two senior police officers by another decorated IPS officer.

“The allegation­s levelled by a Dgp-rank officer Chattopadh­yaya are very serious. Chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh should immediatel­y remove both top cops from their posts,” Khaira said.

“It shows the attitude of the Congress government. A Dgplevel officer is feared to be trapped in a fake case just because he is probing a drug nexus involving senior police officers and politician­s in Punjab,” he said.

CHANDUMAJR­A SEEKS CM’S RESIGNATIO­N

RUPNAGAR: Akali leader and Anandpur Sahib MP Prem Singh Chandumajr­a has demanded chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh’s resignatio­n over infighting among the top brass of Punjab Police.

Talking to the media here on Saturday, Chandumajr­a said the law and order machinery has collapsed in Punjab and people were feeling unsafe. It is a matter of concern that a director general of police had levelled serious allegation­s against his counterpar­t in the high court.

Since Amarinder is also holding the home portfolio, he should take the moral responsibi­lity and quit as the CM.
