Enforcement Directorate vs Film producer Grewal — Bribery investigation

CBI arrested IAS officer Pankaj Agarwal in connection with an alleged Rs 657-crore fraud involving IDFC First Bank. Chargesheets have been filed against five bankers, one CSCL official, and one private individual. The case involves suspected financial misconduct at multiple levels.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered an FIR following a Punjab High Court directive to probe allegations of corruption, specifically 'cash-for-transfers' and policy manipulation, involving Rajbir Singh Ghuman, an OSD to the Punjab Chief Minister. The Enforcement Directorate subsequently initiated a money laundering probe based on the predicate offenses investigated by the CBI.

Taman Singh Sonwani, former chairman of the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission, is facing investigation by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate in connection with alleged irregularities and paper leaks in the 2020 and 2021 CGPSC recruitment examinations. He sought regular bail on medical grounds under the PMLA, which was rejected by the Chhattisgarh High Court.
