Suspended DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar has moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking regular bail in a corruption case. Bhullar's plea argues that the investigation is concluded, the challan presented, and his continued custody is unnecessary. He contends that as a suspended official, he poses no risk of influencing witnesses or tampering with evidence. The plea also highlights that he has already spent substantial time in jail, arguing that further incarceration before trial would be punitive. Bhullar and a co-accused were arrested in October following a complaint, with a significant amount of cash and assets reportedly seized from his residence.
