Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has accepted the resignation of Cabinet Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar after a controversial video allegedly involving the minister surfaced. Well-placed government sources said that Bhullar was asked to resign after a video surfaced on social media in which a government official allegedly named him before claiming to have consumed a poisonous substance, according to sources in the state government. Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, a district manager with the Warehouse Corporation in Amritsar, was heard in the viral video saying he had consumed poison and naming Mr Bhullar, who serves as Punjab’s transport minister.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has directed the Chief Secretary to conduct a probe into the matter. “Negligence of any kind will not be tolerated,” Mann said, according to officials.
Meanwhile, Bhullar has denied all the allegations levelled against him in the viral video
The circumstances surrounding the video and the events leading up to it are now expected to be examined as part of the inquiry.
