CHANDIGARH: Punjab police have registered a case against their former boss Sumedh Singh Saini in connection with the disappearance of Balwant Singh Multani in 1991.
Saini was the Chandigarh Police Superintendent at the time. Multani was picked up by two officers after a terrorist attack on Saini in Chandigarh in which four policemen were killed in his safety.
The case was registered under Sections 364 (kidnapping or kidnapping to murder), 201 (causing evidence to disappear), 344 (unlawful confinement), 330 (causing voluntary harm to exhort confession) and 120 (B ) (criminal conspiracy) in Mohali on Wednesday night.
Her brother filed a complaint about the kidnapping of Multani.
An investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation was initiated in this case against Saini in 2007 on the instructions of the Punjab and Haryana superior court, but was later annulled by the Supreme Court.
When contacted, Saini, who is said to be in Delhi, said: “What comments are required when a chief minister joins anti-national elements to settle personal scores for keeping him booked for corruption?”
Saini has been in the crosshairs of the Congressional government led by Captain Amarinder Singh since the sacrilege cases of 2015 emerged. He had questioned the closing report of the Surveillance Office in the Ludhiana City Center scam in which Amarinder was accused.
DENIED ENTRY TO THE HIMACHAL WITHOUT PASSING
Hours after the FIR was registered against Saini and seven other police officers at the Mataur police station in the Mohali district, the former police chief was unable to enter Himachal Pradesh on the state border with Punjab early Thursday morning, since he didn’t have a valid pass. for interstate travel.
Bilaspur (SP) Police Superintendent Devakar Sharma said Saini, accompanied by two people, in a Toyota Innova arrived at the Gara-Mora interstate barrier near Swarghat in the district at 4 am without an entry pass. valid.
“When the police personnel operating the barrier stopped the vehicle, one of the occupants claimed that it was a former Punjab DGP and was on its way to Karsog in the Mandi district,” Sharma said. One person accompanying him said he was an officer-in-rank of inspector, while the other was an assistant deputy inspector.
Saini owns an ancestral farm in Karsog.
However, police personnel at the border told the trio that entry was not allowed without a valid pass. “The guard at the barrier then reported to Naina Devi, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), who finally informed me,” Sharma said.
“Later, the former DGP called me with a request to allow them to enter the state, which became a city,” added the SP.
