Former Punjab Police chief Sumedh Saini is booked for enforced disappearance of Sikh youth Balwant Singh Multani. The FIR against Sumedh Saini was registered on 6 May 2020, about 29 years of the occurence. During these 29 years Sumedh Saini was enjoyed state patronage and was awarded high ranks in police, including the top rank of Director General of Police.
The registration of FIR has its own significance but other hard facts can not be ignored that Sumedh Saini still enjoys state patronage. Despite registration of FIR he was not arrested by police. A Mohali court has already granted him anticipatory bail, which means police can not arrest him in this case.
