SC denies bail to suspended DIG Bhullar in CBI corruption case
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.
