Amritsar Top Cop Gurpreet Bhullar Transferred Amid Jantar Mantar Protest-ISI Module Row
Punjab transferred Amritsar Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar after an edited interview fueled a row over an alleged cross-border terror module.
- On Friday, the Punjab administration removed Amritsar Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar following a political controversy over conflicting statements regarding an alleged ISI-backed terror plot and its reported link to the Jantar Mantar protest.
- During an August 4 press conference, Bhullar described how foreign handlers recruited minors to conduct reconnaissance, stating the module, run by an ISI-backed handler, "had also sent them to Jantar Mantar," triggering widespread political fallout.
- The BJP shared edited clips to allege a link between protesters and the module, while Punjab Police later warned of legal action under the Information Technology Act against those spreading "erroneous impressions" regarding the event.
- BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu questioned the transfer to the DGP office, stating, "The timing of Gurpreet Bhullar's transfer is bound to raise eyebrows. Did his accurate revelations about the alleged Jantar Mantar plot trouble Kejriwal?"
- Deputy Inspector General of Police Border Range Harmanbir Singh received additional charge of the post as the AAP administration faces embarrassment, though the government has not yet announced an official reason for the leadership change in Amritsar.
