IRRIGATION SCAM: VB SENDS FRESH SUMMONS TO SHARANJIT DHILLON

Punjab vigilance and anti-corruption bureau on Thursday for the second time summoned former irrigation minister and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Sharanjit Dhillon for questioning into the multi-crore irrigation scam. The summon has been issued for Friday. Dhillon, who skipped first summons sent Wednesday evening citing health reasons, is likely to appear on Friday before the vigilance bureau team at its state headquarters. In previous summons, former chief secretary Sarvesh Kaushal was also asked to appear before VB but the retired Indian Administrative Services (IAS) officer is said to be abroad.
