A Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) has been dismissed from service in Punjab after an interview with Lawrence Bishnoi, a notorious gangster, was aired from his jail cell. The interview, conducted illegally, sparked outrage across the state, with accusations of security lapse and breach of jail protocols.
The Punjab government swiftly initiated an inquiry after the interview was broadcast, raising concerns about the state’s law and order situation. The DSP was found guilty of negligence and failing to adhere to proper procedures for maintaining security in jails. This incident has intensified the demand for stricter oversight and accountability within the state’s prison system. Further investigations are ongoing to determine if more officials were complicit in the unauthorized interview.
