Criminal case filed against Moosewala & five Pb cops, DGP suspends DSP

Chandigarh: Acting swiftly against controversial Punjabi pop singer, Sidhu Moosewala, Barnala police on Monday registered criminal cases against him and five police personnel, after a video showing the singer shooting at a firing range went viral on social media.

After the video went viral, the DGP directed SSP Sangrur to conduct a preliminary enquiry, which prima facie established that the DSP had facilitated the shooting at the firing range in village Badbar, at a time when the entire state is under curfew. On receipt of the report, a Departmental Enquiry was initiated against the DSP and cases were registered against the accused. 

The DGP took a stern view of the DSP’s act of deputing police personnel attached with him at the shooting range unauthorizedly, and acting in a manner unbecoming of an officer.

Meanwhile, Punjab Police Hqrs. has moved a reference to the State Home department for initiating departmental enquiry against DSP Daljit Singh Virk, the spokesperson further disclosed.
