BATHINDA:

Police officials monitoring the probe said they have found details of Amandeep's three bank accounts. Frequent transactions from different persons into her salary account are under scrutiny, sources said.

Amandeep is crediting her friends for supporting her lavish lifestyle, say the police sources. "The salary account of the cop with a monthly salary of about ₹60,000 had transactions varying from ₹5,000 to ₹3 lakh. These deposits were made by different persons. The sacked cop is not revealing much. Teams are digging deeper for details," said an official pleading anonymity. She was produced in the court amid tight security in the afternoon. Amandeep had been in the police custody since her arrest with 17.71-gm heroin recovered from her black SUV and the court granted her police remand thrice in the last one week.
