Rajpura court has issued a non- bailable arrest warrant for Bhupinder S Thind, Himachal Pradesh IPS officer for grabbing NRI's property by giving false cheques & forged power of Attorney. He was also investigated by the CBI for embezzlement of banks.

Thind's bail plea rejected

Chanidgarh, Nov. 03,2006

Thind's lawyers say DGP Ashwani Kumar behind conspiracy ADGP, Bhupinder Singh Thind was today denied bail by a Special CBI court, after his counsel pleaded that Thind was innocent and had been dragged in by the CBI as part of a conspiracy. Taking up the bail plea of ADGP Thind moved by Thind's counsel under Section 437 of the CrPC, the court of special judicial magistrate Harinder Sidhu denied him bail as offences against him were serious, some of which (under Section 467 IPC) were even punishable with a life term.

The prosecution had earlier strongly objected to the granting of bail to Thind, on the plea that since Thind was an influential and senior police officer, with a political clout, his coming out of jail could amount to influencing the witnesses and tampering with the records. Thind was also charged of not cooperating with the CBI during the investigation in the case and he kept evading the CBI on one pretext or the other, before being finally arrested on October 27.

Thind's lawyers earlier charged the present Himachal Pradesh DGP Ashwani Kumar of being behind the conspiracy against Thind, for preventing him from taking over the top post in the Himachal Pradesh police. Ashwani Kumar, who is senior to Thind in the IPS, had pipped Thind for the DGP's post in August. The defence counsel argued that since Ashwani Kumar was earlier serving as Additional Director CBI, he had hatched the conspiracy against Thind, as the CBI had once written to the Himachal Pradesh government for initiating action against Thind had earlier been remanded to judicial custody for 14 days up to November 11 by the court, after his arrest by the CBI on October 27 from his Chandigarh residence. An IPS officer of the 1974 batch, Thind is currently lodged in the Patiala Central Jail and has since been suspended from his post of ADGP (Law and Order and CID) in the Himachal Pradesh police.
