According to NRAI secretary Rajiv Bhatia, “We suspended him on moral grounds. He must prove his innocence. Until the inquiry concludes, he will not coach any athlete.”

The FIR states that the incident occurred last month after a training session at the Karni Singh Range in Surajkund. The minor, who has trained under Bhardwaj since August 2025, informed her mother on January 1 after being persistently questioned. She said the experience left her traumatised.

Bhatia added that NRAI had recommended Bhardwaj for the 37-member post-Paris Olympics coaching team in 2024. Consequently, SAI appointed him as one of the coaches. He emphasised that the organisation will follow inquiry findings before taking further action.

Earlier, Bhardwaj, a former pistol shooter, received a doping ban in 2010 for using a beta-blocker. NRAI has issued a show-cause notice, and the investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, authorities continue monitoring the situation closely.

The pistol belonged to a licensed owner who handed it over to the police for safekeeping during the elections. Later, when officers checked the storage, the licensed pistol missing from police station in Katihar could not be found.

Police began investigating immediately. They reviewed CCTV footage and checked all records but found no clue about how the weapon disappeared. Residents are concerned about safety if a gun can vanish from a police station.

The Superintendent of Police confirmed an FIR has been filed against unknown persons. Officers said they will take strict action against anyone responsible. The investigation is ongoing, and police are determined to recover the pistol.

People in the area fear that if a licensed pistol is not safe in police custody, public safety may be at risk. Authorities are now under pressure to solve the case quickly.

The bureau named his wife Swapna Sanchita, father-in-law Satyendranath Trivedi, brother-in-law Shipij Trivedi, and sister-in-law Priyanka Trivedi. It also booked Vinay Kumar Singh, director of Nexgen and a close associate of Choubey, along with Singh’s wife Snigdha Singh. Together, the group allegedly helped Choubey collect assets far beyond his legal income.

Earlier, the ACB started a detailed inquiry in May after Choubey’s arrest. Since then, the inquiry has opened several money trails. These trails link the officer and his relatives to real estate, bank deposits, and various investments. Because of this, officials now believe the case has become stronger. They also expect more illegal assets to be recovered.

Meanwhile, the bureau continues to track the money trail. More documents are surfacing each week. Due to these developments, many voices in administrative circles are calling for tighter checks on senior officials.

Police said the crowd gathered under the Panjab University Bachao Morcha banner. They removed barricades, broke the gate lock, and attempted to enter the campus. Officers tried to stop them. A scuffle followed. Several policemen suffered injuries, including DSP SPS Sondhi and Inspector Rohit Kumar. Doctors at GMSH-16 treated them and later discharged them.

Investigators reviewed CCTV footage, videos and photographs. They began identifying each person involved. Notices and arrests are likely soon. Officials stressed that the group included students, activists and several outsiders. Their actions disturbed the peace and blocked government officials on duty.

Police officers also said the presence of cameras and media personnel encouraged some protesters to act aggressively. The gathering later turned into an unlawful assembly. Authorities reaffirmed that maintaining order on campuses is a priority. They said strict action will follow once the investigation identifies every participant.
