Punjab Transfers Amritsar Police Chief After Terror Plot Remarks and Political Debate
Punjab Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar was transferred days after announcing the arrest of nine individuals, including juveniles, linked to an alleged Pakistan-backed terror module. Bhullar claimed some accused had surveyed Delhi's Jantar Mantar protest site and planned attacks with petrol bombs. The Punjab government clarified that Bhullar did not link protesters to the terror plot, attributing confusion to selectively edited remarks. The transfer has sparked political debate, with opposition leaders questioning its timing amid the controversy.
