Court Denies Punjab DIG Bail, Upholds CBI Jurisdiction in Chandigarh Bribery Case

A Punjab Police DIG's bail plea was rejected by a special CBI court, which ruled that his posting location does not determine jurisdiction. The court stated that the CBI did not require Punjab government sanction to arrest the DIG, as the alleged bribe demand, acceptance, and recovery occurred in Chandigarh, a Union Territory. The judge emphasized that the genesis of the crime, not the accused's posting, governs jurisdiction, and CBI has full powers in UTs under the DSPE Act.
