Kapurthala, May 14 (UNI) Begowal wine contractor Davinder Singh Bhullar, who was arrested by police following recovery of 1200 cartons of liquor from his premises on May 12 , today complained to the SSP alleging that the Bholath DSP, Begowal SHO and ASI had committed a theft of 40 tolas gold, misappropriating 900 cartons of liquor valuing over Rs 9 lakh during the raid at his premises.

Davinder Singh Bhullar, after his release in the two criminal cases, in a complaint to the SSP, the copies of which were released to the press in the press conference convened by Bholath Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira, alleged that he was falsely implicated at the behest of former SGPC President Bibi Jagir kaur in the two fake criminal cases for extending help to Mr Khaira in the assembly elections.

Mr Bhullar had also sent the copies of the complaint to the higher authorities and demanded action against the erring police officials.

In addition, Mr Rachpal Singh Bachajeevi, Secretary Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee, in another complaint to the SSP, also alleged that he was falsely implicated in the fraud case by the police as co- accused with Davinder Singh Bhullar even though he had no connection with liquor business.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Khaira alleged that Congress workers in the Bholath area were being falsely implicated in the false criminal cases and more than two dozen Congress workers had so far been booked by the Bholath police at the instance of Bibi Jagir Kaur.

He said he will hold a public meeting and protest dharnas at the district headquarter and planned to sue the erring police officials in the court of law for implicating the Congress workers in the false criminal cases.

SSP Rakesh Aggarwal told UNI that he had deputed SP (HQ) Charanjit Kumar to conduct the inquiry into both the complaints and submit the report within a month.
