Mohali, August 5
The Mohali district and sessions court has issued a notice to the state government on the anticipatory bail filed by ex-DGP Sumedh Singh Saini, along with six others, in a case filed by the Vigilance Bureau under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The Additional District and Sessions Judge directed the government to present the complete record with regard to the FIR tomorrow. Saini’s counsel advocate HS Dhanoa has filed the anticipatory bail plea.
The Vigilance Bureau had on August 2 registered a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act against Saini and six others. The agency is probing Saini’s role in a fraudulent deal involving fake documents and questionable financial transactions linked to a house in Sector 20, Chandigarh.
The FIR lodged by Vigilance Additional Director Varinder Singh Brar was based on a Vigilance inquiry, which established that Saini had paid Rs 2.5 lakh rent for the first floor of the house to an excise officer’s family besides paying Rs 6.40 crore since October 2018.
