In a stern move against misconduct and negligence, three Special Police Officers (SPOs) have been dismissed from service in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district following their involvement in various criminal activities, including cases related to murder and narcotics. Daljeet Singh, Bali Ram, and Deepak Singh were ousted from their positions while two separate departmental inquiries were conducted against them in 2023.

Shockingly, they managed to escape from police custody, leading to grave concerns over their responsibilities. Consequently, they were relieved from their duties due to dereliction of duty and breach of trust.
In another instance, Deepak Singh faced the repercussions of his involvement in a case registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at Samba police station. His dismissal came as a result of serious breaches of law and professional misconduct.The escalating drug menace in the region has sparked increasing concern among law enforcement agencies, with calls for heightened vigilance and decisive action.

SSP Sharma’s commitment to upholding law and order, particularly in the face of mounting challenges posed by the drug trade, hasearned him widespread commendation. This move to dismiss the errant SPOs underscores the administration’s determination to maintain integrity within the police force and to combat the rising tide of criminal activities, especially in relation to narcotics. It serves as a stark reminder of the critical need for accountability and responsibility among law enforcement personnel in safeguarding public safety and upholding the rule of law.
The swift and decisive actions taken against these former officers send a clear message that breaches of trust and misconduct will not be tolerated within the ranks of law enforcement. As efforts intensify to tackle the drug menace, authorities are striving to restore public confidence in the police force and ensure that officers uphold the highest standards of professionalism and integrity in the discharge of their duties.
