DIG's arrest: SAD seeks probe into money trail, modus operandi

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Friday demanded a probe into the money trail to find out on whose behalf arrested Ropar Range DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar was “collecting ill-gotten wealth” and to whom it’s proceedings were being transferred.

Addressing a press conference here, senior SAD leader Parambans Singh Romana said, “Punjabis have the right to know where money being looted from people was going. Is it being used to contest elections in other states or going directly into hands of AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal.”

He said the very fact that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) were silent on this issue indicated that they had a lot of hide.

“The CBI probe must concentrate on this aspect to uncover the entire corruption modus operandi,” he said.

Romana also questioned why the Vigilance and intelligence wings of the state government failed to detect “corrupt activities” of DIG Harcharan Bhullar and not taken any action against him till now.

“How is it possible that this level of corruption including crores of rupees was taking place and the Chief Minister was unaware of it?” he said.
