The Vigilance Bureau (VB) today arrested former minister Sunder Sham Arora in the Punjab Small Industries and Exports Corporation (PSIEC) plot scam. Arora was already in judicial custody in a case registered against him for trying to bribe an official.
A VB spokesperson said Arora was brought on production warrant from Ropar jail and was produced in a Mohali court.
The judge sent Arora to one-day police custody.
Besides Arora, the VB has also booked an IAS officer and several others as well.
The IAS/PCS officers’ association had protested against the registration of the case and went on a mass casual leave. However,they resumed their work after Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann issued them an ultimatum to return to duty or face disciplinary action.
