Arrested Jammu And Kashmir Cop Davinder Singh Stripped Of Sher-E-Kashmir Police Medal For Gallantry, Former State's Highest Police Award

The Jammu and Kashmir administration on Wednesday “forfeited” the Sher-e-Kashmir Police Medal for Gallantry awarded to Deputy Superintendent of Police Davinder Singh, who has been arrested for helping terrorists travel out of Jammu and Kashmir, an official order said. It said the suspended officer’s actions amounted to disloyalty and brought the force into disrepute. According to the order, Singh was awarded Jammu and Kashmir’s highest police award in 2018.
