The Punjab & Haryana High Court denied former DIG IPS Bhullar's second request for bail in the CBI's bribery probe, keeping him in custody.
The Punjab & Haryana High Court in Chandigarh has rejected the second bail plea filed by former Deputy Inspector General of Police, IPS Bhullar, in the ongoing CBI bribery investigation.
The court’s order, issued today, maintains Bhullar’s detention while the case proceeds. The High Court cited the seriousness of the allegations and the potential risk of tampering with evidence as reasons for denying bail.
Bhullar’s earlier bail application was also dismissed, and this latest decision confirms the court’s stance that the accused must remain in custody until the trial concludes.
The CBI’s probe, described as a ‘trap bribery’ case, involves allegations that Bhullar accepted bribes to influence the investigation. The court’s refusal to grant bail underscores the gravity of the charges and the need for a thorough judicial process.
Lawyers representing Bhullar have expressed disappointment with the ruling, while the CBI has reiterated its commitment to pursuing the case to its full extent.
