Wikipedia description:

Kanwar Pal Singh Gill (29 December 1934 – 26 May 2017) was an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer. For two terms he was director general of the Punjab police force, and was credited with having brought the Punjab insurgency under control. There are accusations that he and the forces under his command were responsible for "multiple cases of human rights violation", "in the name of" stamping out terrorism. He was also convicted in a sexual harassment case. Gill retired from the IPS in 1995. Gill was also an author and editor, and was president of the Indian Hockey Federation for fifteen years, until he resigned following a corruption scandal.
