The Punjab Police is responsible for policing in the state of Punjab, India.

History

After the British annexed Punjab in 1849, the Punjab Police was created as a separate unit after 1861. The Punjab Police was closely involved in the operations against the separatist Khalistani insurgency in the 1980s and the 1990s and had been accused of carrying out extensive violations of Human Rights during these operations.cite web| url=http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/ASA20/029/1999/en/dom-ASA200291999en.html| title=Will past human rights violations in Punjab remain forgotten?| publisher=Amnesty International| date=August 10, 1999| accessdate=2008-07-01] On November 18 2005, six Punjab Police officials were convicted of the 1995 abduction and murder of Jaswant Singh Khalra.cite web| url=http://www.ensaaf.org/news/pr2005-11-18.php| title=Punjab Cops Convicted of 1995 Murder of Activist Khalra| publisher=Ensaaf| date=November 18, 2005| accessdate=2008-07-01]
