New Delhi (24.07.2024): Union Home Ministry has sought details of ‘firing’ by two IPS officers and two HPS officers whose names have been recommended along with that of two others by the Haryana government for “Police Medal for Gallantry” for stopping at the state’s Shambhu border the farmers who were marching from Punjab to Delhi as part of their Dilli Chalo agitation in February, 2024.
The Haryana government has sought gallantry medal to three IPS officers — Sibash Kabiraj (IPS: 1999: HY); Jashandeep Singh Randhawa (IPS: 2012: HY) and Sumit Kumar; and three HPS officers that included Narender Singh, Ram Kumar and Amit Bhatia (all DSPs). The government forwarded the names after receiving recommendations from DGP Shatrujeet Kapur (IPS: 1990: HY) for “their exceptional bravery and leadership”.
The MHA requisition came as Punjab Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to reconsider Haryana’s recommendation saying that awarding gallantry medals to the officers involved in such action against farmers is akin to adding insult to injury.
