Bishnoi jail interviews: Punjab home dept recommends DSP's dismissal

CHANDIGARH:

The move to recommend termination of DSP Gursher Singh from service is based on the findings of a special investigation team (SIT) headed by Special DGP (Human Rights) Pramod Kumar. The SIT uncovered that the controversial interview, aired in March 2023, was conducted via video conference when Bishnoi was in CIA Kharar custody on September 3-4, 2022. Gursher was DSP (investigations) at that time and Bishnoi was being probed for his alleged role in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala.
