Atul Kumar Goel

Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir police’s Deputy Inspector General Atul Kumar Goel, who broke a police-militant nexus by arresting now-suspended DSP Davinder Singh, is among 81 personnel of the force who have been awarded police medals for gallantry.

Overall, the J&K police’s 81 medals are the maximum awarded to any police force this year, followed by the CRPF s 55.

Goel, a 2004-batch IPS officer, had personally laid a police picket on a national highway on January 11 this year after intelligence reports indicated that Davinder Singh, along with an over ground worker of militant groups, was ferrying two militants to Jammu to escape the harsh winters.

After a brief altercation, when Singh attempted to throw his weight at the policemen at the checkpost to escape, Goel, according to eyewitness, stepped out of his vehicle and slapped the erring DSP, following which he was arrested.

The NIA, which took over the case subsequently, has already filed a charge sheet and alleged that the suspended DSP was being groomed by officials of the Pakistani High Commission in India to get more sensitive information.
