DSP Singh, caught while ferrying militants in 2020, terminated from service

The police officer was arrested on January 11, 2020 in Kulgam when he was shifting a cop-turned-militant commander and his close associate in his car outside the Valley.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Davinder Singh, who was arrested last year when he was ferrying a Hizbul Mujahideen commander and his associate in his vehicle, was dismissed by J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Singha under Article 311 on Thursday. "L-G Sinha is satisfied after considering the facts and circumstances and on the basis of information available that the activities of DSP Singh, who was under suspension, warrant dismissal from the service," an order reads. DSP Singh has been dismissed under sub-clause (c) of Article 311. "It is not expedient to hold an enquiry in the case," the order added.
