short by Shalini Ojha / on Saturday, 7 January, 2023
Punjab minister Fauja Singh Sarari resigned, reportedly citing personal reasons, on Saturday after which the AAP-led state government asked the governor to induct his replacement in the cabinet. Months ago, a purported audio clip of Sarari and his aide surfaced, in which they reportedly discussed a plan to extort money from contractors. Subsequently, AAP served a show-cause notice to him.
