Punjab Health Minister Vijay Singla was removed from his post and the state cabinet on charges of corruption. Soon after his termination, Singla was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
“I'm taking strict action against that minister, sacking him from the cabinet and directing the police to register a case against him. That minister is Vijay Singla. He had indulged in corruption in his department and also confessed to it. AAP has a zero-tolerance policy against corruption," Mann said in a nearly six-minute-long video that he posted on Twitter.
