CHANDIGARH: Punjab Police DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar, who was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a corruption case, was produced before a CBI court in Chandigarh on Thursday following a medical examination.
During searches at Bhullar’s residence in Sector 40, Chandigarh, the CBI recovered ₹5 crore in cash and 1.5 kg of gold. Officials also seized keys to BMW and Audi cars, property documents from various locations in Punjab, a farmhouse in Samrala, 22 luxury watches, 40 litres of foreign liquor, a double-barrel gun, pistols, revolvers, airguns, and a large quantity of ammunition.
The arrest was made after Naresh Batta, a scrap dealer from Mandi Gobindgarh, lodged a complaint alleging that Bhullar had demanded a bribe of ₹8 lakh to settle an FIR. The bribe was allegedly sought through a broker named Krishna, who has also been arrested by the CBI.
