In a damage control exercise, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on Friday ordered the suspension of Moga SSP Charanjit Sharma with immediate effect for lapses in the line of duty.
The suspension has been ordered following a recommendation of the SIT formed after the sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib in Faridkot district some time back.
The SIT headed by ADGP, IPS Sahota, Director Bureau of Investigations, went into the entire sequence of events following the disappearance of the Guru Granth Sahib from Faridkot. Sharma was SSP Faridkot when the holy book was stolen from a gurdwara there. He was presently posted as SSP Moga.
