" Gill retired from the Indian Police Service in 1995. He is an author, editor, speaker, consultant on counter-terrorism, president of the Institute for Conflict Management and president of the Indian Hockey Federation (IHF). He has also been the center of controversy. In 1996, he was convicted for "patting" a senior female Indian Administrative Service officer's "posterior" at a 1988 party. After allegations of corruption within the IHF in 2008, the Indian Olympic Association suspended the IHF indefinitely. He received a Padma Shri award, India's 4th-highest civilian honor, in 1989 for his work in the civil service.
