High Court Slams Punjab, Haryana Police: Expose Criminal Cops!
The Punjab and Haryana High Court on August 3, 2025, issued a strong directive to the state Director Generals of Police (DGPs) to publicly disclose details of all police officers facing criminal charges while remaining in active service.
This unprecedented order follows a recent drugs case where serious allegations of false implication and corruption were levelled against Inspector Vijay Kumar and other police officials. Kumar’s reinstatement, despite the pending accusations, sparked the court’s intervention.
The court expressed deep concern over the apparent lack of transparency and accountability within the police force. The order demands a complete list of officers, detailing the charges against them and the status of the investigations.
The High Court’s action underscores the urgent need for police reform and the critical importance of maintaining public trust in law enforcement agencies. The transparency demanded by the court could significantly impact the fight against corruption and ensure justice for those wrongly implicated. This case sets a crucial precedent for holding police personnel accountable for their actions.
