The UT Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP),Naunihal Singh,dismissed Constable Jagbir Singh and Constable Baleer Singh from service with immediate effect on Wednesday. Speaking to Newsline,UT SSP Naunihal Singh said,I visited the accused and based on the facts they have been dismissed for indiscipline. The two had created a ruckus in an inebriated state in the wee hours on Monday. They had hurled abuses at their senior police officers,and had reached the official residence of UT SSP in Sector 16. After consuming liquor at around 12:10 am on Monday,they reached the Police Headquarters and requested their senior officers to let them return home since they were drunk. When refused,they allegedly created a nuisance and used abusive language. They initially went towards ISBT,Sector 17,and then headed towards the official residence of SSP Naunihal Singh in Sector 16. The two kept misinforming the control room about their location,but later informed that they were heading towards the SSPs residence. Inspector Satpal and ASI Sukhwinder Singh were rushed to Sector 16 to stop them,but Jagbir,fired at Inspector Satpal when he tried to pacify them. The bullet narrowly missed the Inspector. They were later arrested and a case of attempt to murder has been registered against the duo. They were presented in a local court which remanded them to judicial custody. Cops return revolver found in stolen suitcase to owner The police have returned the revolver,which was found lying in an open suitcase in Manimajra late on Tuesday to its rightful owner. On Tuesday,around 11 pm,police had received a call about an open briefcase containing a gun and other documents in Manimajra. When the police reached the spot,Pankaj,an employee working in a showroom in the area,told them that he noticed the briefcase lying next to his scooter when he was going home after finishing his work. Apart from a Webley revolver,the briefcase contained ATM cards,a cheque-book,three live and three used cartridges and other documents. The police immediately swung into action and based on the documents inside the briefcase,the gun was traced to Angrej Singh,an agriculturist based in Ambala. Inspector Rajesh Shukla,Station House Officer (SHO) at Manimajra police station,said,Singh is a member of the National Rifle Association of India. On Tuesday,he had come to Chandigarh in his car. The driver of the car had kept the suitcase in the car trunk and the briefcase was probably stolen. Unaware of the theft,the owner did not register a police complaint. We have handed over the suitcase along with its belongings to the owner after verifying all the documents of ownership, added the SHO.
