Punjab and Haryana High Court Orders CBI Probe into AAP Corruption Allegations
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has directed a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into corruption allegations against individuals linked to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Punjab government. The order, issued on October 5, 2026, follows a public interest litigation and expresses dissatisfaction with the Punjab Police's handling of the case. The court noted the need for a fair investigation into serious irregularities, including cash for transfers and tenders. A report on the investigation's outcome is expected within two months. Opposition parties have criticized the AAP government, with Congress's Partap Singh Bajwa calling for Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's resignation, questioning the government's integrity following the court's decision.
