Cricketer Harmanpreet Joins as DSP Punjab Police
Indian women’s Twenty20 cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Thursday joined the Punjab Police as a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) here, with Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh and DGP Suresh Arora pinning the stars on her uniform.
“Proud to join DGP Suresh Arora in pinning the stars on the uniform of this young cricketer @ImHarmanpreet as she takes over as DSP in @PunjabPolice. This lady has done us proud and I’m confident she’ll continue to do so. My best wishes are with her,” Capt Amarinder tweeted.
Harmanpreet, who was serving in the Indian Railways, was relieved from her duties after she put in a request to join Punjab police. Punjab chief minister had also taken up the matter with the Railway Ministry to waive off the bond condition and allow Harmanpreet, who is a native of Moga, to join as a DSP in Punjab.The Punjab Chief Minister had offered the DSP post to Harmanpreet in July last year, following her scintillating performance in the Women’s World Cup 2017.
