Kullu scuffle: Addl SP back in Himachal CM’s security

Shimla, July 2

Additional SP Brijesh Sood, who was temporarily posted at the police headquarters here after a scuffle outside the Bhuntar airport in Kullu on June 23, has been reinstated as Additional SP, Chief Minister’s security.

A notification issued on Friday said Sood would resume his duty as Additional SP, Chief Minister’s security, relieving Puneet Raghu, Additional SP, 3rd Indian Reserve Battalion, Pandoh, of the charge with immediate effect.

A video of Kullu SP Gaurav Singh slapping Sood and Chief Minister’s PSO Balwant Singh kicking the SP in retaliation during the visit of Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on June 23 had gone viral. While the SP and the PSO were suspended, the Additional SP was attached to the police headquarters. — TNS
