Punjab Police Official Caught Planting Drugs at Priest's Home; BJP, SAD Slam AAP Govt
A Special Investigation Team will probe the alleged planting of heroin after a hidden-camera video prompted the suspension of ASI Sukhdev Singh, officials said.
- On Sunday, police suspended ASI Sukhdev Singh after CCTV footage purportedly showed him placing a packet under a mattress at the home of Shiv Sena leader Mahant Kashmir Giri. Senior Superintendent of Police Darpan Ahluwalia discharged Giri from the case.
- Officers had initially claimed to recover around 30 grams of heroin from beneath the mattress during a search, but the viral video contradicted this official account, prompting the immediate suspension.
- Giri has faced several criminal cases over the years, with at least six FIRs booked against him in Khanna and Delhi, ranging from weapon offences to drug trafficking.
- A Special Investigation Team led by an SP-rank officer is now probing the incident, including the role of other police personnel present during the search operation.
- Past criminal records against Giri include orchestrating a fake attack to gain security cover and allegedly looting 10 kg of gold while posing as tax inspectors; he also claimed "Khalistani radicals" were responsible for that attack.
