Punjab DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar Sent to Judicial Custody; ED Probes Links to Senior Officials and Politicians
A police chief named Bhullar is in jail because he might have asked for money to help someone with a case.
He was in jail for a while, and then a judge sent him to stay in jail until November 20th.
Another person, Sharda, is also in jail.
Sharda told the police that some important government people, including police officers and politicians, were involved in bad deals.
Now, another government group called the ED is looking into this to see if those important people also did something wrong.
Bhullar's lawyer asked for him to get his medicine in jail.
Suspended Punjab Police DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar has been sent to judicial custody until November 20.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has started its own investigation, seeking details from the CBI.
