Punjab CM Aide Challenges Legality of CBI Raid in High Court
Rajbir Singh Ghuman, an Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, has filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The petition contests the legality of a recent CBI search conducted at his residence, alleging the agency lacked the necessary authorization.
Rajbir Singh Ghuman, who serves as an OSD to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, has initiated legal action against the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) following a raid at his home in Sangrur. In his petition filed before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Ghuman argues that the investigative agency acted outside of its legal authority.
Specifically, the petition claims that the CBI search was conducted without the required approvals or legal standing. By bringing this challenge to the High Court, Ghuman is seeking judicial intervention to address what he characterizes as an illegal investigative process. The case highlights ongoing tensions regarding the scope of federal agency operations within the state of Punjab. As of now, the CBI has not issued a formal public response to the specific allegations regarding their lack of authorization, and the court has yet to issue a ruling on the merits of the petition.
