Transfer kin FIR to CBI, demands DSP bribe case complainant
CHANDIGARH: Guneet Kaur, the CBI complainant against DSP R S Meena and three others in the bribery case of Rs 40 lakh, on Tuesday, sought the transfer of the FIR against her parents and brother to the CBI, claiming she would never get justice till the time investigation was pending with the Chandigarh police.
Guneet, in a press meet, claimed, “The FIR against my relatives was a conspiracy hatched by a Mumbai-based businessman with the connivance of some Chandigarh police officials to settle personal scores against my family.” “Earlier, the complaint of Deepa Duggal was rejected by the police and then the cops lodged an FIR against my relatives on the same complaint that had been turned down,” she alleged. She cleared that the move on part of the UT administration to transfer the case to CBI was the result of her meeting with UT administrator Kaptan Singh Solanki.
The Mumbai-based businessman is the father-in-law of the sister of Guneet. The sister had lodged an FIR against the businessman and his other family members of attempt to murder in Ropar.
DSP Meena, sub-inspector Surender Sharma, businessmen Aman Grover and Sanjay Dahuja were arrested on the complaint of Guneet that they had demanded a bribe of Rs 75 lakh from her not to arrest her father and brother in a cheating case related to a property in Sector 9 on August 13. Investigation agency sleuths had caught Dahuja and Grover red-handed with Rs 40 lakh from the office of Berkeley Motors in Industrial Area, the amount was allegedly meant for the two cops.
Guneet, who had allegedly received a number of messages from Grover and indirectly from a police inspector, claimed, “I cannot narrate the extent police went to harass my family. The then SHO of economic offences wing (EOW) had started unnecessarily harassing me and my family members. He along with other cops quizzed and threatened everybody in the presence of my children.”
Guneet’s parents – Gurkirpal Singh Chawla, Jagjit Kaur Chawla, and her brother Hamrit Singh Chawla were booked for forgery by Chandigarh police in December 2014.
Meanwhile, Grover filed his bail application in Punjab and Haryana high court on Tuesday. The application was reserved for October 14.
