High Court Seeks CBI Response on Bhullar's Bail Plea
A high court is asking the CBI for their opinion on a bail request from a police officer who has been suspended.
The officer, Harcharan Singh Bhullar, says he didn't do anything wrong and that he can't influence the case because he's already suspended.
The court wants to hear from the CBI before making a decision.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court sought the CBI's response on a bail plea by suspended DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar.
Bhullar's legal team argued that he cannot influence witnesses or evidence as he is already suspended.
Bhullar has denied allegations of demanding illegal gratification, stating there was no motive for such actions.
The prosecution plans to rely on official witnesses and the complainant in the case.
Bhullar's plea asserts that the accusations contradict his service record and professional standing.
