The Mohali businessman suicide case has now resulted in an FIR against a senior Punjab Police officer and four others. The case involves Rajdeep Singh, a 45-year-old businessman who ran an immigration firm and died by suicide inside an HDFC Bank washroom two days ago.

Before taking the step, Rajdeep recorded a video message. In it, he accused AIG Gurjot Singh Kaler, ASI Rishi Rana, CA Sunil Aggarwal, caterer Rinku Krishna, and Saina Arora of harassment. He also left a note mentioning the unpaid dues of ₹40 lakh. His father further alleged humiliation by police, pressure from loans, and financial harassment as reasons behind his death.

Following the complaint, police booked the five under charges of abetment to suicide and criminal conspiracy. DSP (City-2) Harsimrat Singh Bal confirmed that teams are conducting raids to arrest the accused, including AIG Kaler.

The case has attracted major attention since AIG Gurjot Singh Kaler is among Punjab Police’s most well-known officers. Apart from his career in policing, he is also known as a writer, singer, mountaineer, and social worker.

Born in Chandigarh, Kaler holds master’s degrees in Psychology, Police Administration, and Development & Security. He cleared the Punjab Civil Services exam in 2012 and later served in units like the Cyber Cell, Intelligence Wing, and Organised Crime Control Unit.

Kaler also trained with the FBI, RCMP, and Singapore Police. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he launched initiatives such as free taxi services for the elderly and anti-drug campaigns. He has written books and composed songs dedicated to farmers and soldiers. And earned awards, including the State Policing Award and FICCI Smart Policing Award.

Now, the case has brought him under scrutiny. The allegations of harassment have raised serious questions about accountability within the police. As the investigation continues, the Mohali businessman suicide has become a case of public concern, linking financial stress, alleged misconduct, and responsibility of senior officers.

A Mohali court ruled that a man gets 6-month jail in cheque bounce case, sentencing Dalvir Singh to simple imprisonment. The court also ordered him to pay Rs 2.5 lakh as compensation to the complainant, Jagdeep Singh. He must deposit the amount within one month. The judgment sends a clear message that financial fraud through dishonoured cheques will face strict action.

Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMIC) Abhay Rajan Shukla delivered the verdict. He held Dalvir guilty under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The case began in October 2020, when Jagdeep gave him Rs 1.65 lakh, Rs 55,000 in cash and Rs 1.10 lakh by cheque. In return, Dalvir issued a cheque for the same sum. When Jagdeep presented it, the cheque bounced because of a “drawer’s signature mismatch.” Despite a legal notice, Dalvir failed to return the money.

In his defence, Dalvir denied taking any loan. He claimed Jagdeep had stolen the cheque from his property dealer, Naresh Kumar Mittal. However, his argument collapsed as he kept changing his version. At one stage, he denied the signature. At another, he alleged theft.

The magistrate noted these contradictions and rejected his claims. He also asked why Dalvir never filed a police complaint if the cheque was stolen. The absence of any such action, along with the evidence, convinced the court that Dalvir was avoiding responsibility.

Now, Dalvir Singh faces six months in jail and a heavy penalty. This ruling highlights the judiciary’s tough approach to dishonoured cheques. For many, the man gets 6-month jail in cheque bounce case shows the importance of accountability in financial transactions and trust in the legal system.

A Chandigarh court has refused bail to Vijay Kumar, a Rs 1-crore cyber fraud accused, denied bail in Chandigarh. A city resident, Manjeet, filed a complaint of cybercrime, saying fraudsters trapped her in a fake investigation drama and took her savings. The court stressed that releasing the accused could let him tamper with vital evidence at a time when cybercrime cases are increasing.

On July 11, Manjeet received a call from an unknown number. The caller said her mobile number was linked to money laundering. Soon after, a man on WhatsApp introduced himself as “Sunil,” a CBI officer. He claimed that an ICICI Bank account under her name was being used for illegal transactions. To make his story believable, he showed her a fake passbook and Aadhaar-linked details.

Although Manjeet denied involvement, the caller kept pressuring her. He displayed a letter with government stamps and warned her of criminal charges if she failed to cooperate. Fearing action, she shared her banking details. Following his instructions, she transferred about Rs 1.01 crore into accounts she believed were under government control. Later, she realised the entire operation was a scam.

Vijay Kumar’s lawyer argued during the bail hearing that investigators wrongly implicated his client. He claimed his client only handled bank accounts and had no role in creating fake identities or deceiving the victim.

The public prosecutor countered this by stating that police arrested Vijay Kumar on July 27, 2025. He added that investigators already linked him to the fraud. Granting bail, the prosecutor argued, could allow him to influence witnesses and obstruct the inquiry.

After reviewing both arguments, the court dismissed the bail plea. The judge noted that the complexity and seriousness of such scams required strict measures. He also pointed out that cyber fraud is rising rapidly, and strong action is necessary to protect society. As a result, Vijay Kumar will remain in judicial custody. This ruling shows how firmly the legal system stands against financial crimes where the Rs 1-crore cyber fraud accused denied bail has become a reminder of the growing threat.
