A CBI court has permitted the summons of the complainant in the corruption probe against suspended Punjab police DIG Bhullar.
A CBI court has granted permission to summon the complainant in the corruption case filed against the suspended Deputy Inspector General of Punjab Police, Bhullar. The order clears a procedural hurdle that had delayed the complainant's appearance before the investigating agency.
The case, which centers on alleged irregularities during Bhullar's tenure, led to his suspension pending a full inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation. While the CBI had sought the complainant's testimony to strengthen its evidence, the court previously declined the request.
With the court's recent ruling, the complainant can now be formally called to provide statements, potentially advancing the probe toward a final report or further legal action.
