Punjab Health Minister Vijay Singla was on Tuesday sacked from the State Cabinet over allegations of corruption and was later sent to three-day police remand by a local court in Mohali after his arrest.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said he dismissed Mr. Singla from the Cabinet for allegedly seeking a 1% commission on tenders for contracts, etc. in the Health and Family Welfare Department, which he headed.
Mr. Mann claimed that Mr. Singla had admitted his crime and he asked the police to register a case against him.
