Mohali, April 25
A week after the dismissal of an anticipatory bail of Lt Col BS Sandhu in the CTU employee Abhishek Guleria murder case, the Mohali police on Wednesday again procured his non-bailable arrest warrant from a local court at Kharar near here.
Issuing the arrest warrants of Sandhu, the court directed the police to produce him before it on May 1, the next hearing date in the case, said the police.
It is to be noted that Sandhu’s anticipatory bail was dismissed by the court on April 18.
Earlier, the court had issued Sandhu’s arrest warrants on March 31 as he did not join police investigations even after being nominated in the case on March 27. The police had nominated Sandhu after arresting three of his employees, Gurvinder Singh Bains, Tarsem Lal and Balwinder Singh, who had confessed during their interrogation that they had disposed of Abhishek’s body following his (Sandhu) directions in this regard.
The highly decomposed body of Abhishek, who had gone missing after partying with his acquaintances, including a cousin at Nayagaon on March 13, was recovered from a deserted area along the Baddi-Pinjore road in Haryana on March 24. The body was found packed in a sack and a polythene bag.
The police claimed that during their investigation it had come out that Abhishek had died due to drowning in a septic tank, located in Sandhu’s Forest Hill resort at Nayagaon. An FIR in the matter was initially registered at the Nayagaon police station on March 26 under Section 365 (abduction) of the IPC. Later, Sections 302, 201, 120-B and 34 of the IPC were added to it.
