NHRC Orders Probe into Allegations Against Punjab CM's Wife Over Rs 5 Crore Bribe Claim
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has directed the Punjab government to investigate allegations that Gurpreet Kaur, wife of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, demanded Rs 5 crore to suppress a rape case. The complaint, filed by retired judge Justice Ranjit Singh, has prompted an inquiry with a report due in two weeks. Gurpreet Kaur has sent a legal notice to the judge denying the claims and calling them politically motivated. Opposition parties have demanded a CBI probe and Mann's resignation, while the Aam Aadmi Party rejects the allegations.
