Amritsar, Nov 19 (PTI) The deputy commissioner of Punjab's Tarn Taran district on Tuesday constituted a team to probe against a civil hospital that is accused of falsely clearing over a dozen police personnel in dope tests, officials said.

According to Deputy Commissioner Pardeep Sabharwal, 14 police constables had undergone a dope test at the Tarn Taran civil hospital a few days back and their reports were found to be negative. However, the same personnel later underwent a dope test at a civil hospital in Amritsar, where they failed the test.

Indian Administrative Service officer Sandeep Kumar has been asked to conclude the probe within 15 days, the officials said.
