Chandigarh, June 7 (IANS) Just ahead of the visit of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to Punjab, the Vigilance Bureau on Tuesday arrested former minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Dharamsot, who was the Forest Minister in the previous Congress government led by Capt Amarinder Singh, is accused of being involved in illegal felling of over 25,000 trees.
Acting on the interrogation of earlier arrested Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Guramanpreet Singh and contractor Hummy, the police took Dharamsot into custody for the wrongdoings in the Forest Department.
The former minister had links with the arrested forest officials, said officials.
Along with him, a local journalist Kamaljit Singh, who was allegedly working as an aide, was also arrested.
The passenger told the CISF personnel that he used a "cancelled" air ticket of Mumbai to enter the terminal area to see off his friend who was travelling to Shanghai in China.
Shaheen says, "I am not scared of anyone. I will not let someone who claims to be a custodian of religion dictate my choices. My choices are mine alone."
In the short video clip, Arpita Chaudhary, a Lok Rakshak Dal (LRD) recruit, was seen dancing in front of a lock-up inside the Langhnaj police station in Mehsana district.
Sharing his harrowing experience of sexual molestation as a 13-year-old boy, TMC member of Parliament Derek O'brien urged celebrities, cricketers and people in public life to speak up about such traumatic incidents.
As per the cabinet's decision, which met here under the chairmanship of the chief minister, there would be no reduction in experience if requisite qualifying service is two years or less.
