Vigilance cop ‘linked’ to Sumedh Saini probe attacked in Mohali

Mohali, September 4

The Balongi police have registered a case against unidentified persons over alleged assault on a constable posted in the FIO wing of the Punjab Vigilance Bureau’s headquarters in Mohali.

The cop, Varun Kapoor, is part of the VB team probing the disproportionate assets case against former Punjab DGP Sumedh Saini, said sources. Kapoor suffered injuries in the attack that took place on the Landran Road on September 2 when he was returning home in a car after work.

At Chappar Chiri, two suspects on a motorbike stopped him on the pretext of seeking directions. As he rolled down the window, the suspects allegedly pulled him out of the car and assaulted him with batons and rods. The assailants threatened him with dire consequences, said sources. — TNS
