Supreme Court Signals Likely Dismissal of Punjab DIG Bhullar's Bail Plea in CBI Case
The Supreme Court indicated it is likely to dismiss the bail plea of suspended Punjab Police DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar, arrested in October 2025 in a CBI corruption case. The court deferred its final decision until certain material witnesses are examined, scheduling the matter for hearing after four weeks. Bhullar challenges the Punjab and Haryana High Court's earlier refusal of bail. The case involves allegations that Bhullar demanded illegal gratification to influence an FIR at Sirhind police station.
