The Punjab and Haryana High Court has stayed the appointment process for pharmacy officer posts advertised by Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot. The recruitment has been put on hold until a hearing scheduled for September 17 due to allegations of cheating.

Charanjit Singh Channi reportedly skipped Rahul Gandhi's Lok Sabha speech, opting instead to attend a party rally in Faridkot.

Faridkot Police busted a heroin trafficking network, arresting six individuals, including an Army personnel and a dismissed police officer, and recovering 4.8 kilograms of heroin after a two-month jail-based interception.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has issued summons to Sampla and two retired IAS officers in connection with the 2015 Faridkot cases.
