The agency also arrested his alleged middleman from Bhullar\u2019s office in Mohali during the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Facts of the Case<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the CBI, the case was initiated based on a complaint filed by Akash Batta, a scrap dealer from Fatehgarh Sahib. Batta alleged that DIG Bhullar threatened to implicate him in a false case unless he paid a bribe of \u20b98 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investigations revealed that Bhullar, through his associate Kirshanu (also known as Krishna), demanded the money to \u201csettle\u201d an FIR (No. 155\/2023) registered at Sirhind Police Station and to prevent further harassment of the complainant\u2019s business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CBI also uncovered that Bhullar allegedly demanded recurring monthly payments, locally referred to as <em>\u201csewa-paani\u201d<\/em>, in addition to the one-time bribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A WhatsApp call recorded by investigators captured Bhullar instructing his associate to collect the full \u20b98 lakh from the complainant. Acting on the evidence, the CBI laid a trap and caught the middleman red-handed while accepting the bribe in Sector 21, Chandigarh. Bhullar was subsequently detained and arrested from his Mohali office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seizure of Assets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During subsequent searches at Bhullar\u2019s residences and offices, the CBI made massive recoveries, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>\u20b95 crore in cash<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>1.5 kilograms of gold and jewellery<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Two luxury cars \u2014 a Mercedes and an Audi<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>22 designer wristwatches<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>40 litres of imported liquor<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Multiple firearms and ammunition<\/strong>, including a pistol, revolver, and double-barrel gun<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the middleman\u2019s residence, the CBI also seized an additional \u20b921 lakh in cash. Officials said the total value of recovered assets could rise as the verification process continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Officer\u2019s Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harcharan Singh Bhullar is a 2007-batch IPS officer, originally from the Punjab Police Service (PPS).
