Suspended DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar’s five bank accounts will be unfrozen. Let us tell you that the CBI had arrested Bhullar and his associate, middleman Krishna Sharda, last month on charges of bribery.
The CBI had frozen eight bank accounts of Bhullar’s family during the investigation. These include his and his son’s salary account, his father’s pension account and other accounts. Due to the freezing of accounts, transactions were not being made from these accounts.
Due to this, Bhullar’s lawyer had filed an application in the CBI’s special court. On this, the CBI filed a reply on Thursday and said that they have no objection to the de-freezing of five bank accounts. These include the salary account of Bhullar and his son, his father’s pension account and two joint accounts. However, the CBI denied de-freezing of three bank accounts, calling them suspicious and placing them under scrutiny.
It is worth noting that the application filed regarding Bhullar’s bank accounts will now be decided on December 8. Apart from this, Bhullar and Krishna Sharda were produced in the court through video conferencing on Thursday. The court has extended the judicial custody of both of them by 14 days. It is worth mentioning that Bhullar was arrested by the CBI last month in a bribery case.
What did Police find at Bhullar’s house?
The CBI had found Rs 7.5 crore in cash from Bhullar’s house during the investigation. This cash has been lying in the CBI office’s warehouse for the past one month. The CBI applied to the court to deposit it in the bank account. Bhullar’s lawyer did not object to this. In such a situation, the pile of notes found from Bhullar’s house will now be deposited in the bank account.
