Sub-inspector Gurpartap Singh, who had replaced Satwinder, has also been transferred within 24 hours of his joining.

Now, sub-inspector Amrik Singh has been posted to the Payal police station as SHO on Friday.

Senior officials claimed that it was a routine transfer on administrative grounds.

Sub-inspector Satwinder had accused Giaspura of misbehaviour and was transferred on April 27 after he had filed a DDR against the latter.

He was replaced by Gurpartap Singh, who was the additional SHO at Machhiwara police station.

Merely 24 hours after his joining, Gurpartap was again transferred and replaced by SI Amrik.

Meanwhile, Khanna senior superintendent of police (SSP) Ravi Kumar said that sub-inspector Satwinder Singh had filed the DDR without his knowledge, following which he was transferred.

“Moreover, there were complaints that he had failed to bring gambling rackets under control in his areas. SI Gurpartap was transferred over some personal reasons,” he added.
