Less than a fortnight after a CBI special court awarded Mohali DSP Rajinder Singh Sohal a three-year imprisonment for wrongful confinement and abduction,the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday admitted his appeal and suspended the sentence.
Six Punjab Police officers,including two retired ones,were earlier sentenced to rigorous imprisonment by the court on charges of abduction,confinement and conspiracy in an 18-year-old case. A Sangrur man had gone missing after he was illegally confined by the police.
The CBI had registered the case following a complaint by Sunam resident Budh Singh. He had alleged that the police team had abducted his son Tejinder Singh from their house on the pretext of an investigation and he never returned thereafter.
Earlier,Budh Singh had approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court that ordered a probe by a vigilance judge in Haryana.
The Court had recommended registration of a case against the accused. Finally an FIR was registered by the CBI on August 23,1995,against the accused in New Delhi under Sections 120-B,342,343,346 and 364 of the IPC.
