Disproportionate Assets Indicate Drug Trafficking At Instance Of Corrupt Punjab Police, High Court Refuses Pre-Arrest Bail To Dismissed AIG Raj Hundal

Live Law  

Observing that being a police officer, he was supposed to be extremely upright, primarily when dealing with sensitive matters, including drugs, the Punjab and Haryana High Court today dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of former AIG Raj Jit Hundal in a disproportionate assets case. The background of the sources of such massive disproportionate assets points to drug trafficking at the instance and involvement of some of the corrupt Punjab Police officers, including the petitioner. The investigation is ongoing, and a custodial investigation of the petitioner is required to determine whether the illicitly acquired money was taken to scuttle the investigation in some severe offenses, help the accused in such offenses, harboring the drug dealers, or even the direct drug dealings.” The Court further added that considering the impact of the matter involving drugs, the custodial investigation is required to know the source of money, patronizing of drug smugglers by the petitioner and cohort police officers who were supervising the drug cases. Adding that in the entirety of the facts and circumstances of the case, it is not a case of mere disproportionate assets but of its trail originating from the drug cartels, the bench said, “If the police officers themselves start harboring the drug paddlers and drug mafia, its impact on society would be massive, and its magnitude would be beyond comprehension.” The counsel appearing for Hundal senior advocate Vikram Chaudhary, argued that the matter was brought to the notice of Chief Minister and the implication of Hundal demonstrates the malice and political vendetta because of the change of regime.
