Pinky accuses top cops of fake encounters

Chandigarh, June 27

Dismissed Inspector Gurmeet Singh Pinky here today alleged that almost all top officers in the Punjab Police had been involved in fake encounters during terrorism in the state.

Accompanied by several dismissed cops, Pinky said some people were killed by the police during those days but there was no record of their arrest or of encounters.

Releasing a list of 11 police officers, and claiming to have identified 54 more convicted by the court and awarded sentences on the charges of corruption as well as in terrorism-related cases, he said while a few cops like him were dismissed, these 65 officers continued to get plum postings. — TNS
