Chairman of the Bhunerheri Block Samiti Harmeet Singh Dhillon, who had allegedly thrashed Block Development and Panchayat Officer (BDPO) Rajinder Gupta, has been suspended from the post.
When contacted, Additional Deputy Commissioner Andita Mitra confirmed the development. Dhillon and his cousin Amandeep Singh, who is sarpanch of Pathanmajra village, had allegedly beaten up the BDPO in his office on September 19.
Subsequently, the Punjab Development Officers Association had met Rural Development and Panchayat Minister in Chandigarh and demanded action against the two.
