CBI begins examination of witnesses in corruption trial against suspended Punjab DIG Bhullar
The CBI has commenced witness examination in the trial phase following the chargesheet filing. The CBI had earlier apprehended Sharda on October 16, 2025, while allegedly accepting Rs 5 lakh as part of the demanded bribe from the complainant.
Explanation in simple terms: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), India's federal anti-corruption agency, is now questioning witnesses in a corruption case against a high-ranking police officer named Harcharan Bhullar. Bhullar, who was temporarily suspended from his position as a Deputy Inspector General in Punjab, is accused of corruption. The examination of witnesses means the investigation is moving forward as the CBI gathers evidence and testimonies to build its case.
