Gurdaspur, On Thursday, Additional District and Sessions Judge Kamaljit Singh Lamba rejected the interim bail plea of former Gurdaspur SP Salwinder Singh in connection with a case of sexual harassment and corruption.

On august 3, the case was registered at the City police station.

Singh landed in controversy earlier this year after Pakistani terrorists allegedly kidnapped him around 30 hours before launching an attack on the Indian Air Force base at Pathankot on January 2.

According to sources, “in 2005, Rajneesh Kumar, an employee of Powercom and a resident of Geeta Bhawan here, had lodged a complaint with Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal in which he had alleged that he was falsely implicated in a rape case and Singh had taken Rs 50,000 from him to drop his name from the FIR.”

He had also accused Singh of getting into an illicit relationship with his wife.
