In an unexpected move, veteran IPS officer O P Singh arrived unannounced at Panchkula's Sector 7 Police Station, taking interim command as Haryana's Director General of Police. This decision follows Shatrujeet Kapur being sent on leave amidst ongoing investigations.

Addressing the state’s police ranks through wireless communication, he underlined the significance of their relentless service in safeguarding citizens.
