In a major breakthrough, suspended DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar and middleman Biloliya Krishna were sent to extended CBI remand amid revelations of their involvement in influencing court judgments through collusion with judicial officers. The operation unearthed WhatsApp chats indicating communication between Bhullar, Krishna, and two judges from Chandigarh and Mohali, highlighting a disturbing nexus within the judiciary.

CBI sources reveal that Bhullar wielded his influence to alter judicial outcomes in favour of clients, coordinating with judges via digital communications. The chat evidence forms a critical part of the ongoing probe, aiming to uncover the extent of this network that undermined legal processes. The CBI is now seeking permission from the special court to interrogate the two identified judicial officers linked to this scandal.

The scandal has rocked Punjab’s administrative framework, prompting intensified investigations. Both Bhullar and Krishna’s remand has been extended for further questioning as the CBI deepens the probe into this systemic corruption, reflecting the agency’s commitment to restore integrity in governance and judiciary.
