Hooda Cleared as Haryana Court Accepts Closure Report on 2015 Wheat Fungicide Case

The Haryana High Court has accepted the closure report filed by the investigating agency in the 2015 wheat fungicide case. The report concluded that there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Bhupinder Singh Hooda, the former Chief Minister of Haryana. As a result, Hooda has been cleared of all allegations related to the alleged misuse of fungicides on wheat crops. The decision follows a lengthy investigation that began after complaints of illegal pesticide use surfaced in 2015. The court’s acceptance of the closure report effectively ends the legal proceedings against Hooda.
