Ex-DGP Siddharth Chattopadhyaya took orders from criminals: Sukhbir Badal

Mohali, January 24

SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal today demanded registration of a criminal case against DGP Siddharth Chattopadhyaya for “taking orders from criminals” while working as the state police chief.

Talking to mediapersons at Barri village, he said a tape had surfaced in which the DGP could be heard talking to a proclaimed offender (PO) in the Bhola drug case.

“During the course of this conversation, the PO instructed the DGP regarding transfer and posting of certain police officers, shifting of notorious prisoners from one jail to another and creating an illegal detention centre in Mohali,” he said.

Asserting that Chattopadhyaya’s relations with drug baron Jagdish Bhola were now out in the open, Sukhbir said, “It is clear that he was working in league with drug smugglers as well as tainted cops.” —
