Punjab vigilance bureau questions ex-CM Charanjit Singh Channi for over 7 hours in disproportionate assets case

CHANDIGARH: The Punjab vigilance bureau on Friday questioned former chief minister and Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi at its state headquarters in Mohali for over seven hours in the alleged disproportionate assets case.

Channi, who became the first Dalit chief minister of Punjab in September 2021, reached the vigilance bureau office at 11.15 am on Friday along with his advocate. While entering the vigilance office, he termed it ‘vendetta politics’ while questioning the Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) government for advancing his appearance date before the vigilance bureau from April 20 to April 14 on a public holiday on account of Baisakhi and the birth anniversary of Bhim Rao Ambedkar. He left the vigilance office at around 6.30 pm.
