Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann has ordered the initiation of “disciplinary proceedings for major penalty” against former director general of police (DGP) Sidharth Chattopadhyaya and two other police officers over the security breach during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the state in January last year.
Apart from Chattopadhyaya, who has since retired, the disciplinary proceedings for major penalty will be initiated against Inderbir Singh, the then deputy inspector general (DIG) of police of Ferozepur range, and Harmandeep Singh Hans, the then senior superintendent of police (SSP) of Ferozepur.
These officers would be asked to submit their responses.
