Why CBI raids on Vigilance Bureau casts a long shadow on Mann govt, IPS officer Chauhan | Chandigarh News

5 min readMay 13, 2026 08:36 AM IST In a dramatic operation that has left the Punjab government scrambling for explanation, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) swooped down on the state Vigilance Bureau in an unprecedented series of raids. The anti-graft agency’s own headquarters, meant to be the sword against corruption, were suddenly the target, turning the spotlight squarely on the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and exposing systemic rot in an election year. The timing could not have been more damning. Only few days earlier, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had undertaken a high-profile ‘Shukrana Yatra’, a thanksgiving pilgrimage across key religious sites, immediately after his government notified the Jaagat Jot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Act, 2026, a stringent law against sacrilege. The yatra was projected as a moment of moral victory and public connect, a symbolic gesture of gratitude for what the government called ‘historic legislation’ protecting faith. Yet the CBI raids have overshadowed the benefits that the yatra was meant to harvest. Instead of basking in the afterglow of a …
