Legal Petition Pushes CBI to Examine Alleged Bribery in Punjab Administration

Advocate Nikhil Saraf filed a public interest litigation in the Supreme Court, demanding that the CBI investigate claims of bribery and racketeering within the Punjab chief minister's office. The petition cited letters from the Enforcement Directorate that accused the OSD and other officials of influencing IAS and IPS transfers for personal gain. The Punjab and Haryana High Court, responding to the petition, ordered the CBI to conduct a thorough, independent investigation within sixty days.
