Punjab Police Close Corruption Case Against Ex-Minister Vijay Singla
In Punjab, a former health minister named Vijay Singla was accused of taking bribes.
Police arrested and fired him from his job.
Now, the police have said they don't have enough evidence to keep the case going.
The person who reported the bribe agreed with this decision.
This has upset some political groups who think the government is protecting Singla and that the case should be investigated further.

Singla was arrested and sacked in 2022 after allegations of bribery.
The complainant, a Superintending Engineer, agreed with the closure report.
