Vijender Singh cannot accept another employment: Haryana Police
Haryana Police warned of action against Olympic bronze-medallist boxer Vijender Singh if he failed to seek permission from the state government for turning professional.
“He (Vijender) is a government servant and he cannot accept another employment. Without government’s permission, how he can accept money from other place,” Haryana Additional DGP (Administration) K K Sharma said.
“If he does so on his own, then action can be taken against him,” he further said.
Sharma said Vijender could be discharged from services if he fails to get permission from the government.
He said that Haryana Police does not have any official intimation about Vijender turning pro. Action, if any in the matter, can only be taken after there is official confirmation.
Vijender was appointed as Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) by previous Bhupinder Singh Hooda government in Haryana for his outstanding record in boxing at national and international level.
