After a 251‑page FIR was made public, the CBI’s summons for Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann’s officer‑on‑special‑duty, Rajbir Singh Ghuman, went unanswered.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) issued a summons for Rajbir Singh Ghuman, the officer‑on‑special‑duty (OSD) to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, following the release of a 251‑page First Information Report (FIR). The FIR, which details alleged irregularities linked to the chief minister’s office, was made public earlier this week.
Despite the detailed complaint, Ghuman has not presented himself before the agency for questioning. CBI officials confirmed that the summons was served, but the OSD has not responded, prompting speculation about possible delays or avoidance.
Law enforcement sources said the investigation remains active and that the CBI may consider further legal steps if the individual continues to evade the inquiry. The episode adds to the growing scrutiny of political appointees in Punjab and could have implications for the state government’s image.
Political analysts note that the lack of cooperation could intensify pressure on the Mann administration, which has already faced criticism over alleged interference in administrative matters. The CBI’s next move is expected to be closely watched by both opposition parties and the public.
