Punjab Removes Amritsar Police Chief After Controversial Jantar Mantar Comments

The Punjab government has removed the Amritsar police commissioner following remarks he made linking arrested individuals to the Jantar Mantar protests. Authorities clarified that the officer's statements had been selectively edited, creating a misleading impression that those arrested were connected to the demonstrators. The state government maintained that the edited version of his comments did not reflect the full context of what was said. The BJP has raised questions over the timing of the official's removal, suggesting political motivations may be at play.
