Punjab mining scam: Governor BL Purohit has asked DGP to conduct the investigation into the matter at the highest level.
AAP leader Raghav Chadha on Monday said Punjab governor B L Purohit has asked the state police chief to probe into the alleged illegal sand mining racket in the state.
He said Governor Purohit ordered a high-level probe after an Aam Aadmi Party delegation recently submitted a memorandum to him, seeking his intervention for the registration of an FIR in the "multi-layered illegal sand mining racket" in the state.
The Punjab unit of AAP welcomes Governor Purohit's decision, Mr Chadha told reporters on Monday.
The governor has ordered the Punjab director general of police to conduct a high-level inquiry in the allegations of illegal sand mining, he said.
