The Central Bureau of Investigation has issued fresh summons to Rajbir Ghuman, an aide of Punjab’s chief minister, as part of the ongoing investigation into alleged irregularities in government postings.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has issued fresh summons to Rajbir Ghuman, who works as an aide to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, in connection with a probe into alleged irregularities in the posting of government officials. The summons is part of a larger case that examines whether appointments and transfers were influenced by political considerations.
Investigators have been scrutinising a series of postings across various state departments, seeking evidence of favoritism or procedural violations. Ghuman’s role as a close confidant of the chief minister places him under the investigative lens, prompting the agency to seek his testimony and any relevant documents.
The CBI has asked Ghuman to appear before the court on a specified date to answer questions related to the postings case. Failure to comply could result in further legal action, including the possibility of a warrant for his arrest.
The Punjab chief minister’s office has not issued an official comment on the summons, and Ghuman’s legal counsel has declined to comment on his client’s stance.
The development underscores the CBI’s ongoing effort to address allegations of political interference in bureaucratic appointments, a matter that has attracted public and media attention across the state.
