Four Punjab Police personnel have been suspended over the breach in chief minister's Charanjit Singh Channi's security during his son's pre-wedding function at a Mohali resort on October 8.

The action was taken after a senior police officer pointed to a series of loopholes in a detailed letter to the state's DGP.

The letter stated that several police personnel deployed for security were seen consuming alcohol and several men with arms entered the venue unchecked.

It added that lady police personnel deployed at the venue in plain clothes were seen partaking in the festivities and consuming food and beverage in groups.

Commandos posted for CM Channi's security were "mostly busy watching videos on their phones", and some security personnel entrusted with his security were found consuming alcohol. Personnel deployed at entry gates also reportedly left their duty points before the end of the function, the letter pointed out.
