Ghuman is under the scanner for alleged corruption through intermediaries, including co-accused Nitin Gohal, Jitin, Romi Raja Mahajan, Bir Devinder and RS Nagra. <!-- -->According to an ED investigation prior to Punjab and Haryana high court calling in CBI, Gohal coordinated the bribery network.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>CBI&#8217;s FIR mentions ED&#8217;s &#8220;post-seizure questioning&#8221; of Gohal in May. He has been accused of receiving and forwarding drafts of orders and policies to &#8220;private individuals&#8221; prior to govt issuing an official release. One of these policies pertains to &#8220;foodgrain labour and cartage&#8221;, which was allegedly shared by Gohal with co-accused Nagra, who has a foodgrain supply business. <\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nagra is accused of asking for favourable changes in the policy through Gohal, per the FIR.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>CBI has also obtained other purportedly incriminating documents about real estate projects, cooperative housing and irregularities in the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority, suggesting interference by &#8220;multiple private individuals&#8221; in govt functioning.
