Singer Vadda Grewal walks out of jail on bail

Mohali, May 8

Punjabi singer Gurinderpal Singh, popularly known as Vadda Grewal, was released on bail on the orders of a Mohali court today. He was arrested by the Mohali police on April 15 for possessing 30 gm of opium. According to the police, he was admitted to a hospital in Sohana following drug overdose.

Grewal’s counsel, GS Ghuman, and GPS Ghuman had filed his bail plea before the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Harpreet Kaur.

GS Ghuman and GPS Ghuman argued that there were a few loopholes in the police investigation. They said, “The time stated by the police for getting information to register the case was only around 45 minutes, which is questionable as it’s not possible to complete the investigation of an NDPS case in such a short span of time. Secondly, the drug was recovered from his bag placed in a room, and not from his physical possession. The police had not taken any written opinion from the doctor about his drug overdose. Also, the medical reports of Grewal are yet to come.”

They also alleged that Grewal was a good friend of singer Elly Mangat, who had already complained against the police about his custodial torture. They added this might be the reason that Grewal was falsely implicated in the case by the Sohana police. Grewal was lodged in a special quarantine jail in Barnala since April 17. — TNS
