Chandigarh: The Punjab government has withdrawn the deputy superintendent of police (DSP) rank from Harmanpreet Kaur after the graduation degree of India women’s T20 team captain was found to be fake.
Sources in the police department said in a letter to Kaur, the state government told her that the cricketer can be retained in the department only as a constable.
Head of CCS University’s vigilance Cell, Prof Sanjay Bharadwaj, said: “A police officer from Jalandhar approached the university in April for verification of the BA degree of Harmanpreet Kaur. She claimed to have passed the course in 2011. During investigation, Kaur’s enrolment was not found in university records. The officer was informed about the details.”
