Umranangal was reinstated by the Punjab Government on July 11, more than five years after he was placed on suspension in February 2019 in connection with the police firing on anti-sacrilege protesters in Kotkapura in the aftermath of desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib in Faridkot district’s Bargari in 2015.
The posting order of Umranangal was issued on August 28.
Gurpreet Singh Bhullar, the 2004-batch IPS officer, remained without any posting for nearly two months after being replaced as the Amritsar police commissioner by DIG rank officer Ranjit Singh soon after the Lok Sabha elections results. On August 2, Bhullar, who was available for posting since the first week of June, was posted as IG (Provisioning).
While Umranangal and Bhullar got the regular posting within two months of being available, 1997-batch IPS officer Naunihal Singh is yet to be posted. It has been more than nine months that Singh has been without a regular posting.
Singh was replaced by Gurpreet Singh Bhullar as Amritsar police commissioner in November last year. Naunihal has been working as a State Level Nodal Officer, Litigation Management System, since December 15 last year.
