Ex Punjab CM Channi questioned by ED in illegal sand mining case

Former Punjab chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi was questioned for over six hours by the ED in a money laundering investigation linked to an alleged sand mining case in the state, officials said on Thursday.

 

The federal agency recorded the statement of the EX CM Channi Congress leader under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and he left the Enforcement Directorate’s zonal office in Jalandhar late on Wednesday night.

 

Channi’s nephew Bhupinder Singh alias Honey was arrested in the case by the agency days before the February 20 Punjab Assembly polls. A charge sheet was filed against him and others named in the case early this month.
