Channi’s Nephew Honey Earned Crores On Transfers And Postings, Family Involved In Various Rackets, Sand-Mining?

CHANDIGARH: The Punjab Justice & Human Rights Forum (PJHRF) has accused CM Charanjit Singh Channi’s nephew of earning several crore by manipulating transfers and postings and alleged that Channi was aware of the same and did nothing.

Channi was a silent partner in Bhupinder Singh’s illegal businesses of ‘extortion and money for postings’ said Adv Dharm jeet Singh of the PJHRF.

Meanwhile, addressing a series of public meetings in support of PLC and BJP candidates from Sanaur in Patiala and Banur in Mohali, Punjab Lok Congress chief Amarinder Singh said Channi’s nephew, arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), had reportedly admitted that the cash seized from his possession was earned from illegal sand mining as well as transfers and postings.

Bhupinder Singh alias Honey, the arrested nephew of Channi, “accepted” that he received Rs 10 crore cash in lieu of facilitating sand mining operations and transfer or posting of officials in the border state, the ED had claimed in a statement.

Asserting that he planned to continue fighting for Punjab and the nation, the PLC chief said with security paramount for the border state, his party’s alliance with the BJP would help fulfil their collective responsibility to make India secure.

“We have to save ourselves from our enemies from across the border and not let people like Navjot Sidhu, who hugged the Pakistan Army chief, compromise our security,” he stressed.

Punjab also needs the central government’s support for its economic revival, which the PLC-BJP-SAD (Sanyukt) alliance would help achieve, said the former chief minister.

The state has no money for development, Singh claimed and wondered how parties like the Congress, AAP and SAD plan to fulfill their “false promises” when they are not willing to work in coordination with the Centre.
