BATHINDA, Oct. 14 -- Deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Ravinder Singh Randhawa, who was nominated by the state vigilance bureau (VB) in an alleged corruption case, on Monday withdrew his bail application filed before a Bathinda court. The case was to be heard by the additional district and sessions judge, Surinder Pal Kaur. On July 1, the VB had arrested a personal security officer (PSO) attached to Randhawa, who was then posted as Bhucho DSP, red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs.1 lakh. The accused was identified as the head constable Raj Kumar, who was also working as the assistant reader to the DSP. Later, during the investigation, the VB found involvement of the DSP in the case, and Randhawa was subsequently nominated in the alleged crime. After that, Randhawa was transferred from Bhucho to the Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) at Ladha Kothi in Sangrur district on October 10. The complainant in the case, a resident of Kalyan Sukha village in Bathinda district, had approached VB, accusing the assistant reader of demanding a bribe. In his statement to VB, the complainant said that during his ongoing dispute over agricultural land, the opposite party had registered a false case against her husband and both her sons. After her representation, the Bathinda SSP marked the complaint to then DSP Randhawa to probe the matter. "Subsequently, Raj Kumar, made two phone calls from the complainant's mobile phone and informed her that he had spoken to the DSP regarding this re-investigation. To get the FIR cancelled, he demanded a bribe of Rs.2 lakh," read the VB statement issued in July. The VB added that further, Kumar told the complainant that Rs.1 lakh should be paid immediately as the first instalment. "The complainant recorded this conversation on her mobile phone and submitted it to the VB. After verification of the complaint, a VB team from Bathinda range laid a trap and apprehended HC Raj Kumar while accepting the bribe," added the VB statement issued in July. VB authorities in Bathinda, who are investigating the matter, have refused to comment on the action initiated against the DSP....
