Balasar (Haryana) Nov 03: Continuing its investigation against the Badal family in a graft case, the Punjab Vigilance Bureau today carried out evaluation of the farm house owned by former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, here. This is the second visit of the PVB officials to the farm house which had been measured, surveyed and valued in July this year after search warrants were issued by a court in Kharar for inspecting 16 properties of the Badal family in Chandigarh, Haryana and Punjab and Delhi.
