Amarinder Singh’s tenure as Chief Minister.

The case pertains to allotment of major mega projects during Capt. Amarinder Singh’s tenure as Chief Minister and his ownership in companies at Bahadurgarh (Haryana) and Gurgaon (Haryana).

The Bureau also mentioned in the case that Capt. Singh’s then media adviser B. I. S. Chahal’s role in the case would also be probed. Capt. Singh had already got bail in another case registered against him last year by the Vigilance Bureau pertaining to the multi-crore Ludhiana City Centre scandal. - PTI
