Punjab Middleman’s Chat Logs Expose Payoffs to 3 IAS and 1 IPS Officer

The Economic Times has published chat logs obtained from a Punjab middleman that allegedly show payments to three Indian Administrative Service officers and one Indian Police Service officer. The messages, which were intercepted by investigators, detail the amount and frequency of the bribes.
