As the Director General of Police in Punjab during the 1980s and 1990s, KPS Gill played a crucial role in combating Sikh militancy in the state. He led aggressive counter-insurgency operations against militant groups and is credited with significantly weakening the insurgency. However, his methods have also been criticized for human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings.
