Amritsar Top Cop Removed After Jantar Mantar Remarks, BJP Questions Timing

The transfer of Amritsar Police chief Gurpreet Singh Bhullar days after the force announced a major breakthrough against alleged Pakistan-backed terror modules has raised questions over the timing of the move.

The Amritsar commissionerate had announced the arrest of nine people, including four minors, and the recovery of three pistols, nine live cartridges and four petrol bottle bombs. The police had said the accused were acting at the behest of foreign-based ISI handlers and were conducting surveillance of security installations.
