Chandigarh, Oct 16
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday caught red-handed Punjab Police Deputy Inspector General (Ropar Range) Harcharan Singh Bhullar from Mohali for accepting a bribe of Rs 5 lakh.
It’s learnt that the CBI had laid a trap to arrest him red-handed.
Sources said the 2007-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, Bhullar, was accepting a bribe of Rs 5 lakh every month from a businessman.
The incident occurred at a hotel in Mohali, near here.
Bhullar previously served as Senior Superintendent of Police in various districts. During his tenure in the Ropar Range, several cases of illegal car trade were uncovered, where scrap vehicles were being sold after having their chassis numbers changed.
