Chandigarh, March 29: Punjab Police has dismissed two officials from service - including international boxer Ram Singh - following their alleged involvement in a drugs racket busted in the state recently. The other person dismissed Thursday is sub-inspector Sarabjit Singh. Ram Singh, a head constable in the force, is a fellow boxer with Olympics bronze medal winner Vijender Singh, whose name also figured in the drugs controversy. He is being questioned in the case. The Fatehgarh Sahib district police had on March 7 recovered over 28 kg heroin, worth Rs.130 crore in the international market, from the possession of Canada-based drugs dealer Anoop Singh Kahlon and had arrested him. The drug haul was made from Kahlon's flat in Zirakpur, near Chandigarh, and his car. Police also found a SUV, registered in the name of Vijender Singh's wife Archana, parked outside Kahlon's flat. Kahlon reportedly told police that Vijender and fellow boxer Ram Singh were his "clients". Police have already questioned Vijender in connection with the drugs racket. The boxer has refused to give his blood and hair samples to the police. Vijender, who is a deputy superintendent of police (DSP) in the Haryana Police, was questioned by the Punjab Police … Continue reading →
