Pune, Sep 20 (UNI) Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Sunday stated newly-appointed Pune Police commissioner Amitabh Gupta’s track record has been good even as he was punished for a “misdeed”, a reference to lockdown travel pass issued by Gupta to Wadhwan brothers.
A 1992-batch IPS officer, Gupta took charge as Pune police chief on Sunday, three days after his appointment was announced, raising eyebrows.
The former Principal Secretary (Special) at Home Department, Gupta, was accused of allowing businessmen brothers Kapil and Dheeraj Wadhawan to travel from Khandala near Pune to Mahabaleshwar in Satara district amid the lockdown restrictions.
