Terming the document being circulated on social media in this regard as fake, the Punjab Police on Monday denied issuing any advertisement inviting online applications for filling up posts for Constables.
The police department has requested citizens to completely disregard the purported advertisement captioned “Recruitment of Male & Female Constable – 2020 (District Police Cadre & Armed Police Cadre)”, which a spokesperson described as a fake document being circulated on social media.
There is no truth or veracity in the purported advertisement, said the spokesperson, adding that a perusal of the document showed that material from earlier advertisements of Punjab Police had been used to mislead the public. Further, the so-called advertisement was stated to be signed by Suresh Arora, IPS, Director General of Police, Punjab, when the fact was that Arora superannuated from service on February 7, 2019, and was no longer heading the Punjab Police force.
