The dismissed Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Gursher Singh Sandhu, who has been accused in the alleged facilitation of a video interview of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi while in custody, has moved a bail application in Mohali District and Sessions court.

The case will be heard on January 13.

The Punjab government dismissed the DSP-rank officer from service on January 2.
