A former IPS officer, Kunwar Vijay Pratap had resigned from Punjab Police, where he held an IG-rank position, in April last year soon after the Punjab and Haryana High Court quashed the probe by a Special Investigation Team led by him. The SIT was probing into two cases of police firing at people who had been protesting against the desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib in Kotkapura and Behbal Kalan of Faridkot district in 2015. He had later joianed AAP.

In a Facebook post on late Saturday night, Kunwar Vijay Partap wrote: “On wide demand of common people, I have requested, at appropriate party forum, to reconsider the posting of two police officers who were part of the then SIT as Number one and Number two, who favoured big political families. These two officers are responsible for denial of justice in Bargari-Behbal-Kotkapura cases. I was at number three in the SIT. Number one has been posted as Intelligence chief, the most powerful position in the police department. Number two has been rewarded as Police Commissioner of the holy city of Amritsar”.
