Corruption has no place in Punjab, and our government is committed to ensuring an honest and transparent administration.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The case came to light when Dharminder Singh, father of 17-year-old Dilraj Singh, approached the Hon&#8217;ble Chief Minister with evidence of bribe demands by the Cyber Crime Police Station, Fazilka.
