Dismissed Punjab Cop's Lavish Lifestyle Lands Her in Corruption Probe
26 Jul
Summary
- Punjab and Haryana High Court denied bail to Amandeep Kaur, a dismissed Punjab Police constable
- Kaur is accused of acquiring assets disproportionate to her known sources of income
- Court cited grave allegations, substantial unjustified increase in wealth, and involvement in other criminal cases
In a recent development, the Punjab and Haryana High Court denied bail to Amandeep Kaur, a dismissed Punjab Police constable who was widely known as the 'Instagram queen' due to her lavish lifestyle. Kaur had been accused of acquiring assets disproportionate to her known sources of income during a check period from April 1, 2018, to March 31, 2025.
The High Court observed that the allegations against Kaur are grave and attract serious concern, particularly in light of the position of public trust held by a serving police official. The court also noted the substantial and prima facie unjustified increase in Kaur's wealth during the check period, as revealed by the financial analysis chart submitted with the FIR.
Furthermore, the court found the defense's arguments regarding an arbitrary check period unpersuasive, especially in light of Kaur's alleged involvement in two other criminal cases, including one under the NDPS Act. The court concluded that the nature of the allegations, the magnitude of the disproportion, the possibility of further recovery and scrutiny, and Kaur's criminal history necessitate a thorough investigation that would be hampered if she was released on bail at this stage.
