New Delhi (11.12.2021): With the elections coming to a close by the day, AIS officers are beelining political parties. Now, Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh (Retd IPS:1998:PB), who was part of the special investigation team (SIT) probing the 2015 Kotkapura police firing case, has found his name among 30 candidates announced by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for Punjab Assembly elections next year.

Singh was given a party ticket from Amritsar North seat. The former bureaucrat had opted for premature retirement in April this year after the Punjab and Haryana high court quashed the SIT report on the 2015 firing incident. Singh, a former inspector general of police, joined AAP in June.
