Jyotiraditya Scindia to look into allegation that Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann was deplaned for being drunk

Union Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday said he will look into the allegation that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was deplaned planed from a Delhi-bound aircraft at the Frankfurt airport as he was “drunk”.

The minister asserted that it was important to verify the facts.

The Opposition targeted Mann on Monday, alleging that he was deplaned from a Delhi-bound aircraft at the Frankfurt airport as he was drunk, a charge dismissed by the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as baseless.

Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa sought an inquiry in the matter and shot off a letter to Scindia.
