More than 60 persons from the CRPF, Punjab Police and the Chandigarh Police continue to be on the security of ex-DGP Sumedh Singh Saini, who is reportedly on the run fearing arrest in the 1991 Multani murder case.

Though Saini’s wife has in a communication to Punjab Police DGP Dinkar Gupta complained that the security personnel have been withdrawn, a police spokesperson said not a single guard from Punjab or Chandigarh Police or the para-military force has been withdrawn.

Police sources said the Z+ security besides a cook and a gardener given to Saini and his family was reviewed last week and a month ago.

“The Punjab Police, the Intelligence Bureau and the Chandigarh Police reviewed his security at the highest level and no decision to prune it was taken,” said a senior official.

The security guards are stationed at Saini’s house in Sector 20 here along with a bulletproof car, a jeep equipped with jammers and an escort car.

The whereabouts of Saini and his family were not known as they have reportedly gone underground after a Mohali court rejected his plea for anticipatory bail in the Multani murder case.

Raveen Thukral, media adviser to Punjab chief minister, has in a statement said Saini had gone underground. He also stated his security cover continued.
