An assistant sub-inspector has been dismissed from service for allegedly conniving with drug peddlers here, police said Tuesday.
Sarabjit Singh, posted in the Narcotics Cell, was a drug addict himself. He was found guilty of violating the service rules by helping the drug peddlers here, Jalandhar Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said.
"After a thorough inquiry, the accused has been dismissed from the service," he said.
Bhullar said there was a zero tolerance policy against drugs.
The Patiala Police on Monday dismissed 11 policemen, including six station house officers, from service for their alleged involvement in corruption and drug-related cases.
