CBI Court Addresses Threats to Witness Kin in Punjab DIG Bhullar Corruption Case
A CBI court in Chandigarh ensured a 'fearless atmosphere' for prosecution witness Raj Kumar in the corruption case against suspended Punjab DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar and co-accused Krishanu Sharda. The court was informed that the parents of another independent witness residing in Jammu had received threats aimed at influencing testimony. Raj Kumar, aware of these threats, gave his examination-in-chief, while cross-examination was deferred. Both accused remain in judicial custody as proceedings continue.
