A day after the Haryana Government reinstated three HCS and two HPS officers who were suspended on the basis of the Prakash Singh Committee report into Jat quota agitation last year, the Government has reinstated two more HPS officers on Thursday.
The Khattar Government, taking a U-turn on strict action against those indicted for dereliction of duty during last year’s Jat agitation in February, has reinstated two Haryana Police Services Officers namely, Sandeep Kumar and Pawan Kumar in service subject to the final outcome of departmental proceedings pending against them with immediate effect.
On reinstatement, both have been posted at Police Headquarters, Panchkula.
Based on the findings of the Prakash Singh Committee, the State Government had suspended three HCS and 10 HPS officers. The report had indicted around 90 officials for dereliction of duty during the Jat agitation. The Jat agitation in February last year had led to the deaths of 31 people, injured more than 300 and resulted in loss of public and government property amounting to crores of rupees in Haryana.
