Terror-accused DSP Davinder Singh dismissed from service with immediate effect

The J&K government has dismissed DSP Davinder Singh from service with immediate effect. He is facing terror charges and was arrested in January last year.

The Jammu and Kashmir government on Thursday dismissed DSP Davinder Singh from service with "immediate effect". DSP Davinder Singh was caught red-handed aiding terrorists in Kashmir, was arrested and later suspended. An order issued by the J&K government said, "The Lieutenant Governor (LG) is satisfied after considering the facts and circumstances of the case and on the basis of information available, that activities of Davinder Singh, Deputy Superintendent of Police (under suspension) are such as to warrant his dismissal from service." The order added that the LG is also "satisfied" that "in the interest of the security of the State, it is not expedient to hold an enquiry" in the case involving DSP Davinder Singh.
