Punjab seeks leagal action against BBMB Chairman for misleading HC

Chandigarh, May 12 (UNI) The Punjab Government has initiated decisive legal measures against Chairman of the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB), Manoj Tripathi, for deliberate misrepresentation of facts before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
In a strongly-worded rebuttal filed as a detailed reply in CWP PIL No 101 of 2025 against CM No 123 of 2025, the Punjab Government has vehemently refuted assertions of illegal detention concerning the BBMB Chairman.
An official spokesperson of the state government informed that during the live court proceedings on May eight, Tripathi admitted he was only surrounded by local citizens and was assisted by Punjab Police in leaving safely. However, in a subsequent affidavit dated May nine, Tripathi contradictorily alleged he was subjected to illegal detention, a claim directly conflicting with his prior in-court statement.
