The Central Bureau of Investigation halted the car of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s officer on special duty as he arrived at the agency’s office, directing him to come in on foot amid a probe into alleged corruption.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) stopped the vehicle of Rajbir Singh Ghuman, the Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, at the gate of its regional office. Officials at the entrance informed the convoy that the OSD would have to proceed on foot to meet the investigators.
The action comes as the CBI intensifies its inquiry into alleged irregularities linked to the OSD, including accusations of corruption and procedural violations in transfer‑posting matters. Investigators have not disclosed further details of the case, but the firm response underscores the seriousness of the probe.
No official statement has been released by the chief minister’s office regarding the incident. The CBI’s decision to bar the car and require a pedestrian entry reflects standard protocol when a senior official is subject to scrutiny.
The incident highlights the heightened vigilance of the anti‑corruption agency in Punjab, where several high‑profile investigations are underway.
