After awarding Satpal Singh with ASI rank, Captain Amarinder Singh said that “We've discussed a policy that any gallantry award winner from Punjab who wants to join the police, he can do so at one rank higher than what his Army rank was. We'll taken them in and take care of them. I'll write to PM that if he could direct other states to do the same.” After receiving the rank Satpal Singh thanked CM Amarinder Singh and humbly accepted the rank.
