Mohali senior superintendent of police (SSP) Satinder Singh said the block development and panchayat officer of Mullanpur had written to SHO Amandeep Singh regarding the illegal construction, but he kept sitting on the complaint for several days.

“I have suspended him for failing to take action,” said the SSP, adding that a departmental inquiry has also been initiated against him.

In October, the SSP had suspended the Lalru SHO for allegedly taking bribe.
