An Assistant Sub‑Inspector of Punjab police has been suspended after allegations that he tried to trap Shiv Sena Hind chief Baba Kashmir Giri in a narcotics case, prompting the formation of a Special Investigation Team.
Punjab police announced the suspension of an Assistant Sub‑Inspector (ASI) following accusations that the officer attempted to implicate Baba Kashmir Giri, the head of the Shiv Sena Hind unit in Khanna, in a drug‑related case. The move comes after the matter was brought to the attention of senior police officials in Ludhiana district.
According to the police statement, the ASI allegedly fabricated evidence to link Giri to narcotics possession, a charge the leader has not faced previously. The alleged misconduct raised concerns about the misuse of investigative powers within the force.
In response, the department has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to examine the allegations against the ASI and to verify the circumstances surrounding the purported framing. The suspended officer will remain on leave until the SIT completes its inquiry.
The incident highlights ongoing scrutiny of police conduct in Punjab, with authorities emphasizing a zero‑tolerance approach toward any attempt to manipulate legal processes for personal or political ends.
