Sumedh Saini is hiding somewhere to avoid his arrest and custodial interrogation which according to Mohali court was necessary to further the investigation in 1991 case related to custodial torture and murder of Balwant Singh Multani.
Punjab government is indirectly helping Sumedh Saini by not ensuring his arrest and allowing him time to avail legal options to avoid arrest.
With High Court denying any sort of relief to Sumedh Saini, it is to be seen now that whether Punjab government would continue with its indirect inclination towards Sumedh Saini or ensure his arrest.
Sumedh Saini has option to move Supreme Court of India against High Court’s order.
