Khanna Senior Superintendent of Police Dhruv Dahiya has been replaced by Punjab Police Service officer Gursharandeep Singh, the ECI said on Wednesday.
Punjab's Chief Electoral Officer S Karuna Raju said in compliance of the orders of the Election Commission of India (ECI), Gursharandeep Singh has been posted as SSP Khanna in place of Dhruv Dahiya.
Gursharandeep Singh has been directed to join immediately and send compliance report in this regard immediately to the ECI.
Last month, Dahiya had claimed that the Khanna Police had recovered Rs 9.66 crore from six men including a church priest.
However, the priest claimed that the money was part of the business proceeds and that the police had recovered Rs 16.65 crore from his home and had misappropriated the remaining account.
On Tuesday, the Punjab Police said that the Kerala Police had arrested Assistant Sub-Inspector Joginder Singh and ASI Rajpreet Singh from a hotel in Kochi, Kerala.
The duo was absconding since last month with a sum of over Rs 6 crore recovered following a raid at the priest's house.
