CBI Probes Corruption Allegations Against Punjab CM's Aide Amid Political Tensions
The CBI, following a Punjab and Haryana High Court order, registered a corruption case against Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann's Officer on Special Duty Rajbir Singh Ghuman and others, conducting raids at multiple locations including Mann's camp office. Allegations involve manipulation of postings, tenders, and policy decisions for pecuniary benefits. Mann and AAP leaders accused the BJP of misusing central agencies ahead of the 2027 Punjab elections, while opposition parties called for a transparent probe. The Punjab government has challenged the High Court order in the Supreme Court. Investigations continue with summons issued to the accused.
