Dismissed Punjab Police Constable Amandeep Kaur Arrested by Vigilance Bureau in Corruption Case

In a significant move reaffirming Punjab’s zero-tolerance stance against corruption, the Vigilance Bureau (VB) on Sunday arrested dismissed Lady Senior Constable Amandeep Kaur in connection with a disproportionate assets case.

Amandeep Kaur, who served in the Punjab Police under badge number 621/Mansa, was taken into custody after an extensive investigation revealed that she had acquired assets vastly exceeding her known sources of income.

The Investigation

The case was initiated following complaint number 94/2025, which led the Vigilance Bureau’s Bathinda range unit to conduct a detailed probe into her finances spanning from 2018 to 2025. According to an official spokesperson, the Bureau meticulously analyzed Kaur’s declared salary, bank statements, loan documents, and property records—both movable and immovable.

The findings were startling: Amandeep Kaur’s legitimate income during the check period totaled approximately ₹1.08 crore, but her total expenditure and asset accumulation reached over ₹1.39 crore, indicating a mismatch of around ₹31.27 lakh—about 28.85% more than her known earnings.

Official Action

In light of these findings, a case has been registered against Kaur under Sections 13(1) and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, case number 15/26-05-2025, at the Vigilance Bureau police station in the Bathinda range.

VB officials confirmed that further investigations are currently underway to trace the origin of the unaccounted wealth and determine whether additional individuals may have been involved.

State Government’s Stance

This arrest falls in line with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann’s commitment to clean governance and accountability in public service. The Mann-led administration has consistently emphasized a zero-tolerance policy toward corruption in all sectors, particularly within law enforcement agencies.

What’s Next?

While the arrest marks a significant step, the case is far from over. Investigators are now delving deeper into the money trail, bank transactions, and property ownership patterns that may expose a larger network or systemic malpractice.

The Vigilance Bureau urges citizens to come forward with credible information about corruption, reinforcing the government’s message that no one is above the law—uniformed or otherwise.
