FARIDKOT: The Punjab home department has sanctioned the prosecution of Superintendent of Police (SP) Gagnesh Kumar and Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Sushil Kumar in a ₹20 lakh bribery case. The officers allegedly accepted the bribe to "re-nominate a prime accused" in the murder of Harka Das Dera deputy head Dayal Das, who was shot dead at Kot Sukhia village in Faridkot on November 7, 2019.
The prosecution has been sanctioned under Section 197 (prior government sanction to prosecute public servants for offenses committed while performing their duties) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), against SP Gagnesh Kumar and DSP Sushil Kumar.
This follows an FIR registered at the Kotkapura Sadar police station in June 2023 under various sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
