Punjab Vigilance SSP Suspended Amid Misconduct Allegations Over Amritsar Tender

Punjab's Vigilance Bureau has suspended Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Lakhbir Singh for alleged grave misconduct and dereliction of duty. The suspension, effective immediately, follows an internal inquiry into allegations of unauthorized interference and potential irregularities concerning a Rs 55-crore tender for sewerage and street lighting projects in Amritsar. Complaints reportedly involve fund misappropriation and favoritism in awarding contracts, with a senior IAS officer's complaint highlighting alleged unfair influence.
