Former DGP Saini's cases was aegued by Himmat Singh Deol, who said that the former top cop would extend full cooperation to the police for carrying out probe.

However, Pardeep Virk, complainant Palwinder Singh Multani's counsel said that they would decide their next course of action only after receiving a copy of the court's order.

Last Friday, Saini filed an application for anticipatory bail-- two days after he and seven other policemen were booked for the abduction, torture and stage-managed elimination of Balwant Singh Multani.

Balwant Multani was the son of former IAS officer Darshan Singh Multani.


On the basis of a complaint by Balwant Multani’s brother Palwinder Singh Multani, Saini and the others were booked under sections 364 (kidnapping or abduction in order to murder), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence), 344 (wrongful confinement), 330 (voluntarily causing hurt to exhort confession) and 120 (B) (criminal conspiracy) on Wednesday evening.

Palwainder Singh Multani claims the cops abducted, tortured and killed his brother in police custody.

The victim Balwant Singh Multani was accused of carrying out an attack on Saini when he was the Chandigarh Senior Superintendent of Police on December 11, 1991. He was booked along with Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar---a convict in the Delhi bomb blast case---and two others, but the police later claimed Balwant escaped from the custody of Qadian (Gurdaspur) police.

The others booked along with Saini are DSP Baldev Singh, Sub-Inspectors Satbir Singh, Harsahai, Jagir Singh, Anoop Singh, and ASI Kuldeep Singh.
