Allegations of corruption and nepotism involving a CM and public contracts warrant urgent attention.
The Supreme Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to initiate a preliminary inquiry into allegations that Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu's family received public contracts worth ₹1,270 crore over 10 years. The court ordered the CBI to examine the award process, compliance with statutory requirements, and potential illegalities or offenses related to the contracts. The CBI will also investigate transactions outside the 10-year period for tracing beneficial ownership and fund flow. The investigation is expected to be completed within 16 weeks, with the state government required to provide all relevant records to the agency.
