Khali was on leave till December last year and after that had applied for five years' leave in the category of extra ordinary leave, to which he was not entitled and accordingly he has been suspended from his duty, Arunpal Singh, Commandant of 7th Batallion of Punjab Armed Police (PAP), where Khali was posted, told PTI.
