A 2019-batch IPS officer, Maninder Singh, has been reinstated as SSP Ropar after being suspended for alleged inaction against gangsters and dereliction of duty in Amritsar Rural. His reinstatement suggests the initial allegations may be unfounded, as his track record in Amritsar Rural was reportedly good regarding encounters with gangsters. The Punjab government has not provided a detailed public explanation for the withdrawal of his suspension. This comes as part of a larger reshuffling of 22 IPS officers, including the reinstatement and transfer of former Tarn Taran SSP Ravjot Kaur Grewal.
