Punjab Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar resigned March 21, 2026, after a senior official’s suicide video accused him of harassment and bribery.

Punjab Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar resigned on March 21, 2026, following the suicide of Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, a senior official at the Punjab Warehousing Corporation. Randhawa allegedly died after consuming poison, recording a video accusing Bhullar of harassment, bribery, and physical assault related to a government tender. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann accepted the resignation to ensure an impartial investigation, directing the chief secretary to lead a probe into the incident. The case has drawn public scrutiny over accountability in state government operations, with opposition leaders demanding a CBI inquiry and preservation of evidence. Bhullar denied all allegations.
