Punjab: Moga SSP removed from post within week of taking-charge
Senior Superintendent of Police of Moga (Punjab), Kamaljit Singh Dhillon, has been removed from the post only days after he assumed it.

Meanwhile, Dhillon has been shifted as AIG (Crime), the spokesperson added. Here's more.
Allegations of receiving bribe in drugs case against Dhillon
Notably, Kamaljit Dhillon was reportedly facing allegations of having received Rs. 40 lakh to "let off" three junior cops in a drugs case. The Chief Minister took the decision on Dhillon's removal as inquiries, warranting disciplinary action against him, had been found to be pending. Amarinder Singh also asked DGP Suresh Arora and the Home Department to immediately take action on the said inquiries.
