Punjab advocate general (AG) APS Deol has submitted his resignation to the chief minister of Punjab, Chanranjit singh Channi.

The Punjab government had appointed criminal lawyer Amar Preet Singh Deol as the advocate general (AG) of the state replacing Atul Nanda who had resigned after Captain Amarinder Singh quit as the chief minister, in the last week of September 2021

As per sources “the A-G’s appointment has already snowballed into a political controversy as Deol was the counsel for former top cop Sumedh Singh Saini and suspended Inspector General of Police Paramraj Singh Umranangal, both accused in the Behbal Kalan police firing case.  This causes the unease between Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Navjot Singh Sidhu over the appointments, the government has taken this step.”
