Punjab and Haryana High Court Rejects IPS Bhullar's Second Bail Plea in Corruption Case
The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed IPS officer Harcharan Singh Bhullar's second bail plea in a corruption case involving an alleged Rs 8 lakh bribe demand. The court cited serious allegations supported by recorded conversations, verification reports, and trap proceedings, noting a prima facie case against Bhullar and co-accused. Concerns about potential witness intimidation were highlighted, and Bhullar's argument on CBI jurisdiction was rejected. Charges have been framed, and the trial has begun without witness examination so far.
