The action was taken after the leader's family produced CCTV footage showing the policeman entering the house and allegedly hiding a packet of drugs under a mattress. The video, which purportedly captures the ASI planting the contraband, also surfaced on social media.
ASI suspended, SIT probe ordered
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Darpan Ahluwalia suspended the accused officer, identified as Sukhdev Singh, and ordered a departmental inquiry into the incident.
Ahluwalia said the Khanna Police would not tolerate negligence or misconduct by personnel dealing with drug-related cases. She confirmed that a Special Investigation Team (SIT), led by SP Harpinder Gill, had been constituted to investigate the matter.
The SSP said further investigation was underway to establish the quantity of drugs allegedly planted at the Shiv Sena leader's residence and determine their source.
