Bishnoi jail interviews: Punjab home dept recommends DSP’s dismissal

Hindustan Times  

The Punjab home department has recommended dismissal of a deputy superintendent of police who was named as a “key conspirator” in connection with facilitation of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s interview to private news channel while in incarceration. According to a senior home department official, privy to the development, the file recommending Gursher’s dismissal has been forwarded to chief minister Bhagwant Mann for final approval. If approved, this would mark the first significant disciplinary action in this high-profile case, which has severely damaged Punjab Police’s reputation, raising serious allegations of a nexus between law enforcement and gangsters. In October 2023, six Punjab Police officers, including Gursher and another DSP, Sammer Vaneet, were suspended for their “roles in the incident”.
