Kanwar Inder Singh/ royalpatiala.in/ Chandigarh
A Mohali court today rejected the bail plea of Punjab’s former DGP Sumedh Singh Saini in the alleged kidnapping and murder of Balwant Singh Multani sensational case. The court had reserved orders for today, on Thursday on Saini’s interim bail application.
Former DGP Punjab Saini and six other police officers were booked in a 29-year-old case of the alleged abduction, torture and stage-managed elimination of Balwant Singh Multani, son of former IAS officer Darshan Singh Multani, when Sumedh Singh Saini was the SSP of Chandigarh.
Now it’s a peculiar situation for his subordinates to arrest their ex boss Sumedh Singh Siani. Saini is untraceable as a special investigation team (SIT), led by superintendent of police (SP) Harmandeep Singh Hans, raided the residences of former director general of police (DGP) Sumedh Singh Saini in Chandigarh and Mohali last week, to arrest him in the above mentioned case. Mohali DSP (Detective) Bikramjit Singh had led the raid while Sumedh Singh Saini was not found at home.It is pertinent to mention that the court had added Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in the case against Sumedh Saini.
Now, Saini may move to high court, to get a bail.
