It was alleged by the complainant that he had got registered FIR No. 9 dated 4.6.2010 under Sections 7,13(2) 88 of Prevention of Corruption Act against one Balram Luthra, Drug Inspector at PS Vigilance, Ferozepur, in which the accused was remanded to police custody. It was further alleged that on 5.6.2010 at about 6.30 p.m., complainant was called by Surinder Pal Singh, SP Vigilance Department to PWD Rest House in connection with recording of his statement. However, there he was pressurized to make statement in favour of accused Balram Luthra, and on refusal to do so by the complainant, he was given beatings, whereafter he became unconscious. On regaining consciousness, he got himself treated at Civil Hospital,Moga. In this background, the complainant had sought an enquiry into the entire episode. Vide order dated 8.6.2010, passed by Hon'ble Ranjit Singh,J., the matter was ordered to be put up on judicial side, and accordingly the complaint was assigned Crl.M.No.M-17490/2010.

Balram Luthra, Drug Inspector was instrumental in lodging a number of cases against this Mafia, they hatched a conspiracy to implicate him and succeeded in getting the aforesaid FIR No. 9 dated 4.6.2010 registered against him under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Thereafter, in order to ascertain the genuineness of the trap leading to the registration of said FIR No.9 dated 4.6.2010, DIG Vigilance Bureau,Jalandhar, assisted by Surinder Pal Singh SP had called the complainant to the office of Drug Inspector to know the facts, however, due to mala fide intention, petitioner concocted a story regarding beatings given to him by Sh.
