New Delhi, April 11 -- The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain the bail plea of suspended Punjab Police DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar who was arrested by the CBI in October last year in connection with a corruption case.

Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Bhullar, sought bail saying the petitioner was not a flight risk and chargesheet and supplementary chargesheet in the case had been filed. The bench said it was not inclined to entertain the plea at this stage. A complaint filed in October last year alleged that Bhullar, who was posted as DIG of Ropar range, demanded illegal gratification through a private intermediary to secure favourable treatment in an FIR and to ensure that no coercive steps were taken against the business of the complainant. An FIR was registered and a trap was laid on October 16 last year in Chandigarh wherein a co-accused was apprehended while allegedly accepting Rs.five lakh bribe. Bhullar was arrested in the case, and later in January, a special CBI court in Chandigarh dismissed his plea seeking bail.
