Sukhbir Badal Demands CBI Probe and Re-Examination in Punjab PPSC Scam Allegations
Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal has demanded a CBI probe and re-examination into alleged irregularities in the Punjab Public Service Commission exams.

Badal also criticized the release of only roll numbers instead of candidate names, suggesting it conceals political connections. The SAD has raised these concerns with the Punjab Governor.
