Disproportionate cases: Former SSP surrenders in Patiala court, VB to get his remand

Date:

Patiala, April 18: Four days after the Supreme Court dismissed his bail petition, former Punjab senior superintendent of police (SSP) SS Grewal on Tuesday surrendered in the Patiala district court in a disproportionate assets case registered against him in December last year.

On April 13, besides rejecting Grewal’s special leave petition, the SC had directed him to surrender in the local court and apply for bail accordingly.

The court, however, sent him to one-day judicial custody and issued a notice to the vigilance bureau about the development. Vigilance SSP Jaspreet Singh Sidhu said, “We came to know about his surrender. We will appear in the court on Wednesday and seek his police remand to investigate the matter in detail.”

On March 16, the Supreme Court had heard Grewal’s bail plea and ordered an interim stay on his arrest. He was also directed to join the Patiala vigilance bureau probe, which he joined on April 2, but did not cooperate with the investigators.

The VB’s Patiala wing had conducted a detailed inquiry against Grewal after a US-based NRI Sarabjit Singh complained to the bureau chief director in 2015. A first-information report (FIR) was registered on December 21, 2017, in which Grewal is accused of indulging in corruption and misusing office during his service.

Grewal remained posted as SSP (vigilance) in Jalandhar and Ferozepur before being made SSP of Moga and Fazilka in 2012. He retired in 2014.
