Amritsar Rural SSP Maninder Singh suspended amid ‘rising gangster activity’

Amritsar Rural Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Maninder Singh has been suspended following concerns over a surge in gangster activity and perceived lapses in tackling organised crime, officials said on Saturday.

The decision comes after reports highlighted delays in action on several significant cases and a lack of effective ground-level response against criminal gangs.

The state government reviewed recent incidents and inputs from multiple agencies before taking the step.
