CBI Investigates Punjab CM's Office Amid Political Dispute Over Corruption Allegations
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and his Officer on Special Duty Rajbir Singh Ghuman face a CBI investigation following a High Court order into alleged corruption and influence-peddling involving government postings and policy decisions. Mann and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) accuse the BJP-led central government of politically motivated misuse of investigative agencies ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections. The BJP denies politicization, citing court directives and demanding thorough probes. Protests by both parties have intensified the political dispute amid ongoing legal proceedings.
