Chandigarh, May 24: Following corruption allegations, Punjab’s Anti-Corruption Branch arrested Punjab Minister Vijay Singla on Tuesday.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had dismissed him from the government before to his detention.
Singla demanded a 1% commission from officials for contracts, according to the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO). According to the CMO, concrete evidence was discovered against Singla.
“For the second time in the history of the country, a Chief Minister took strict action directly against his minister,” claimed the Punjab CM Office in a statement.
The Delhi Chief Minister earlier, in the year 2015, had sacked one of his ministers in a corruption case.
“People have formed the government of Aam Aadmi Party with great expectations, and it is our duty to live up to that expectation,” said Mann.
