Punjab High Court Orders CBI Probe into Corruption Allegations in CM's Office
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into allegations of corruption involving the Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's Office, particularly Officer on Special Duty Rajbir Singh Ghuman and associates. The probe follows Enforcement Directorate (ED) reports alleging irregularities in transfers, postings, tenders, arms licenses, and land-use permissions. The court criticized Punjab Police for inaction despite multiple ED communications. The Punjab government plans to challenge the order in the Supreme Court. Opposition parties demand accountability and Mann's resignation, while AAP leaders question the impartiality of central agencies.
