Even on the last day of the year 2021 , several police officials including a DSP and an ASI along with three police officials and employees had been suspended due to taking bribes and casual approach towards their duty respectively. In wake of their irresponsibility and involvement, they were put under suspension immediately.

A DSP rank official and Jail Superintendent named Shamsher Singh Dahilya has been suspended from Jail in a corruption case. Along with this, orders have also been given to chargesheet him under Rule 7. Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department, Rajeev Arora has issued orders to suspend Shamsher Dahiya on charges of corruption.

During the suspension, the officer will be entitled for the subsistence allowance as admissible under Rule 85 of Haryana Civil Services (General) Rules 2016. Prior to this, a senior IPS official named Dheeraj Setia was suspended for his involvement in a bribery case which is the indication of the worsening portrayal of the image of the department.

In continuation to this, the Home Minister Anil Vij has ordered the suspension of an ASI along with three three police personnel after they failed to perform his duty properly and failed to bear his responsibility in a case.
