Multiple complaints have reportedly been filed against IPS officer Swapan Sharma, who has served in various senior positions across Punjab, including as Commissioner of Police in Jalandhar and currently holds a posting in the state. According to sources, several individuals have submitted written allegations against the officer, with the most recent complaint reportedly filed by a woman to the Jalandhar Police Commissioner’s office. Swapan Sharma, a 2009-batch IPS officer of the Punjab cadre, has held several key positions, including DIG Jalandhar Range, Commissioner of Police Jalandhar, and most recently as Commissioner of Police Ludhiana. His career has included high-profile assignments, including leading operations against separatist elements in Punjab.
Sources indicate that multiple written complaints have been filed against the officer over time, with complainants alleging that no substantial action has been taken on their grievances. The latest complaint, reportedly filed by a female complainant to the Jalandhar Commissioner’s office, has again raised questions about the handling of such allegations within the police department. Critics point to what they describe as a pattern of inaction on complaints against senior police officials. Despite multiple written submissions, sources claim that no formal investigation or disciplinary action has been initiated, raising concerns about accountability mechanisms within the police force.
This situation highlights ongoing concerns about internal accountability within police forces across India. Questions about how complaints against senior officers are handled, investigated, and resolved remain a matter of public interest and concern. No official response was available at the time of writing, as attempts to reach relevant authorities for comment were unsuccessful. It is important to note that allegations remain unproven until properly investigated through established legal and administrative channels. All individuals, including police officers, are entitled to due process and a fair investigation of any complaints filed against them.
