New Delhi (09.08.2021): The Himachal Pradesh Government finally, revoked the suspension of young IPS officer Gaurav Singh (IPS:2013:HP). His reinstatement order, issued by the home department, said that he will report to the DGP’s office till he receives his new posting. It may be underlined he was allegedly involved in a scuffle with two other junior security personnel during Union minister Nitin Gadkari’s Kullu visit. The incident took place on June 23 when Gadkari arrived on a tour to Kullu. Gaurav, who was then the Kullu superintendent of police (SP), had allowed people affected by the Chandigarh-Manali four-laning project to protest peacefully at the Bhunter airport. Gadkari met protesters and listened to their grievances. However, this did not go down well with the Additional Superintendent of Police Brijesh Sood. Sood raised the matter with Gaurav, which led to a heated verbal exchange. However, things turned ugly when Singh slapped Sood. Seeing this, the chief minister’s PSO Balwant Singh kicked the IPS officer Gaurav Singh who commands popularity among the people and senior officials for his sincerity and competence.
