Punjab Police have filed a case against ex-Transport Minister Laljit Bhullar following the suicide of Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, the District Manager of Punjab State Warehousing Corporation. Randhawa, who accused the minister of harassment, took his life by consuming Celphos at his Amritsar residence. Before his death, he recorded a video blaming Bhullar for his actions.
Randhawa, survived by his wife and three children, accused Bhullar, his father Sukhdev Bhullar, and personal assistant Dilbagh Singh of abetting suicide, criminal intimidation, and common intention. His wife, Upinder Kaur, alleged that the trio assaulted her husband, leading to his suicide.
BJP leaders plan to protest at Chief Minister Bagwant Mann’s residence demanding Bhullar’s arrest. The party’s chief, Sunil Jakhar, condemned the incident, stating that the government’s alleged demands have led to tragic outcomes. Jakhar called for immediate action against Bhullar and criticized the Chief Minister’s response to the situation.
The incident involving Randhawa has raised concerns about the alleged corruption within the Punjab government. Jakhar highlighted a series of similar incidents involving government officials and criticized the state government’s integrity. He called for accountability and justice for the victims.
