ED Detains Punjab CM's Aide Amardeep Grewal in Rs 5-Crore Bribery Case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) detained Amardeep Singh Grewal, a close aide of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, at Delhi's airport in connection with an alleged Rs 5-crore bribery case involving transfers and postings in Punjab. The case reportedly implicates Mann's wife, Dr Gurpreet Kaur. Grewal, linked to the Punjabi film industry and East Sunshine Production Pvt. Ltd., was summoned twice by the ED but did not appear, leading to a Look Out Circular and his detention for questioning. His formal arrest is under consideration.
