THE MOVE COMES AFTER SHIMLA CITY POLICE CHIEF LAUNCHED A TIRADE AGAINST THE HIMACHAL POLICE CHIEF
SHIMLA: Himachal Pradesh chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Tuesday directed state's director general of police (DGP) Atul Verma, additional chief secretary (ACS) Onkar Chand Sharma and Shimla superintendent of police (SP) Sanjeev Gandhi to "proceed on leave" and issued them show-cause notices over "indiscipline".
The development comes amid a slugfest within the state police force triggered by the probe into the death of Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (HPPCL) chief engineer-cum-general manager Vimal Negi, who died under suspicious circumstances in March this year.
