Court reserves order on plea against Sumedh Saini

Mohali, April 21

A Mohali court today reserved its order on a plea seeking cancellation of bail to former DGP Sumedh Singh Saini.

The prosecution said information was not being about the Sector 20 house where Saini is residing. The prosecution further said it was not clear as to how the house was purchased. Though the defence counsel submitted an affidavit regarding the agreement about the house, the prosecution demanded all documents regarding the property. The Supreme Court has stayed Saini’s arrest till April 26.
