Chandigarh: Rajbir Singh Ghuman, officer on special duty (OSD) to Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann, appeared before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) at 2 pm on Monday for a second round of questioning in a corruption case.
Ghuman had earlier been questioned by the agency for around six hours. His latest appearance came amid an ongoing investigation into allegations of corruption.
The Supreme Court has restrained the CBI from taking coercive action against Ghuman in the case. However, it declined to stay the investigation or the FIR and directed him to cooperate with the probe.
The Punjab and Haryana high court ordered a CBI investigation into the case on October 5 and sought a report within two months. The Punjab government challenged the high court’s order by filing a special leave petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court on October 6.
The investigation is continuing under the directions of the courts.
