Punjab High Court Orders CBI Probe into Corruption Allegations Involving CM's Office
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into allegations of corruption involving senior Punjab government officials, including the Chief Minister's Office and Officer on Special Duty Rajbir Ghuman. The case follows Enforcement Directorate (ED) reports alleging irregularities in transfers, tenders, land use, and policy decisions. The court criticized Punjab Police for inaction despite multiple ED communications and directed the CBI to register an FIR and submit a status report within two months. The investigation marks a significant development for the Bhagwant Mann-led government.
