MP IPS officer stripped of police medal awarded 13 years ago
The President has issued orders to forfeit the President's Police medal for Gallantry given to Madhya Pradesh IPS officer Dharmendra Choudhary 13 years ago, for killing a dacoit. The directive came after National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) held that the encounter was staged. NHRC launched a probe in 2008 after some human rights activists dubbed the encounter as fake.
