Punjab CM’s wife sends legal notice to ex-judge over bribe allegations

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's wife has issued a formal legal notice to a former High Court judge following allegations that she demanded a bribe to suppress a rape case.

The controversy erupted after the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) issued a notice to the Punjab government, citing a complaint involving a Rs 5 crore demand for legal interference.

Opposition parties, including the BJP, have demanded the Chief Minister's resignation, while the legal notice seeks to address the defamation caused by the ex-judge's public claims.
