Bhullar had moved the top court against a February 16 order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which had rejected his bail plea in the corruption case registered on October 16 last year. According to the agency, Bhullar, a 2009-batch IPS officer posted as DIG, Ropar Range, was arrested on October 16 along with an alleged middleman, Krishanu Sharda, a 29-year-old national-level hockey player, following a complaint by a scrap dealer from Mandi Gobindgarh. The CBI alleged that Bhullar was caught demanding and accepting a bribe of ₹ 8 lakh through an intermediary to “settle” a criminal case against the complainant.
The Enforcement Directorate is expected to challenge the interim bail granted by a local court to Al Falah University group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui stating he can influence the probe as "more aspects" of the case are still under investigation, officials said. Siddiqui's lawyers argued that he has always cooperated with the agency during this probe and that a chargesheet has also been filed against him in January and hence should be granted the relief. The varsity had came under scrutiny following a 'white-collar terror' probe in which two doctors linked to it were arrested, while another doctor, Umar-un-Nabi, associated with its hospital was identified as the suicide bomber in the Red Fort area bomb blast that killed 15 people.
