Punjab Vigilance Investigates Property of Drug Inspector Nareesh Kumar

Punjab Vigilance has formally requested information on the land and property holdings registered in the names of drug inspector Nareesh Kumar, his wife and his father. The inquiry is part of a broader effort to identify any irregularities in the assets of law‑enforcement officials. The agency has asked for detailed records of the properties, including titles, deeds and any related financial documents. While the investigation is still in its early stages, authorities have indicated that they will pursue the matter if any discrepancies are found. The probe is expected to be completed within the next few weeks, after which the findings will be made public.

The request follows a series of anti‑corruption measures aimed at ensuring transparency among officers in Punjab’s drug enforcement units. Nareesh Kumar has not yet commented on the investigation. No official statement has been released regarding the outcome of the probe.

The Vigilance unit has also assured that the investigation will be conducted in accordance with legal protocols and that all evidence will be handled with due diligence. The agency has urged the public to cooperate by providing any relevant documents or information that may assist in the inquiry.

This development comes amid heightened scrutiny of public officials’ assets across the state, with several other cases recently brought to light. The Vigilance department has emphasized that the probe is part of a systematic effort to curb corruption and uphold integrity within law‑enforcement agencies.
