In an important development, the Punjab government has granted sanction to prosecute DIG Inderbir Singh (IPS:2007:PB) in drug and corruption cases. With this approval, the legal proceedings in the long-pending case against him will soon proceed in court.
Singh is currently posted as DIG in the Punjab Armed Police (PAP) headquarters in Jalandhar. He is the IPS Officer of Batch 2007 of the Punjab cadre.
The case against him has been pending for trial in the absence of the govt’s sanction. The Vigilance Bureau had already filed a charge sheet against him after an investigation. However, the trial could not proceed because of a lack of government approval to prosecute him.
With the obstacles removed, the Vigilance Bureau is now able to present the case in court.
The case is linked to two separate cases filed in 2022 in which the IPS officer faces serious charges, including involvement in a drug-related network and accepting bribes as part of corruption.
