An Indo-Canadian police officer has been suspended from duty and charged with two counts of impaired driving in Canada.
Constable Harinder Paul Singh Pabla, serving with Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in the city of Burnaby, is accused in two incidents -- both of which took place while he was off-duty, Burnaby RCMP said in a statement.
"Given that the matters are before the court, no further comment will be provided at this time," the RCMP detachment was quoted as saying.
Pabla has been suspended and internal Code of Conduct investigations have been launched against him, the Vancouver Sun reported.
He is scheduled to appear in a provincial court in the Canadian city of Surrey on March 3 and later on March 10.
