Who was he ?

While entire Punjab is abuzz with speculations of the postings and transfers that are to take place in Punjab Police and the CM and the worthy DGP are expected to take a decision in a couple of days, another whisper that is really doing the rounds is quite interesting!!! Grapevine has it that in the wake of the postings,someone very special came to Chandigarh all the way from Delhi and lodged at the UT guest house. Rumour mill has it that this "Person Extraordinaire" came all the way to "help" his friends in the police. Why were the DSP, SP and other rank officers thronging the UT guest house to exchange "Pleasantries" with this benevolent soul??Who was this gracious friend of Punjab Police officers and what was the purpose of his visit to Chandigarh, the headquarters of Punjab Police during the transfers and posting days??
