The Delhi police were not formally informed about the operation. Mr. Virk was immediately taken to Punjab for production in a court in Mohali. He has also been accused of running private businesses. A senior IPS officer of the Maharashtra cadre, Mr. Virk was removed from the post of DGP before the Assembly elections earlier this year.
