A special court in Mohali has allowed confiscation of assets worth about ₹10 crore in a drug trafficking case involving former Arjuna awardee wrestler Jagdish Singh Bhola, who had also served as a Deputy Superintendent of Police in Punjab. Bhola was dismissed from the Punjab police after his role in drug trafficking surfaced. The government also took away from him the Arjuna Award conferred in 1997. He was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau in Mumbai in 2008. The Punjab police arrested Bhola in November 2013, following which Enforcement Directorate also took him into its custody in January 2014. Since then he has been in judicial custody in the money laundering case and is also serving sentences in multiple cases.More Related News
