The court has framed charges under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Paramjit Singh, IAS officer, was arrested from his office by a CBI team on January 31, 2022. The CBI had registered a case against the director on the complaint of Jaswinder Singh Chahal, officiating general manager of the Punjab Roadways. The complainant alleged that Paramjit had demanded Rs 5 lakh bribe from him for recommending his name to the Principal Secretary (transport) for promotion. But the accused agreed to accept Rs 2 lakh from him after negotiations.
The CBI laid a trap and caught him while allegedly accepting Rs 2 lakh.
