This is Channi’s third appearance before VB which is probing his assets and his known source of income. Channi was grilled for three hours and while coming out of the VB office, Channi blamed the AAP government for a personal witch hunt against him.

“Whatever I was asked to provide I have done that. If VB seeks more details, I will provide that too. Chief minister Bhagwant Mann used to say that I have properties worth ₹169 crores. I have given details of each and everything I own. Where are those properties which the CM used to talk about?” Channi said.
