Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar criticized the police investigation into the death of Gagandeep Randhawa, a district manager, stating that it shows the state government’s intention to delay and weaken the case. Jakhar expressed concerns over the delay in collecting crucial evidence like mobile phones, despite five days of police remand. He emphasized that immediate evidence collection was crucial for a fair investigation.
Jakhar highlighted that certain key aspects, such as the recovery of the pistol and inclusion of relevant sections under the Arms Act in the FIR, were lacking. He also pointed out the absence of sections related to threatening a government official and obstructing official duties. The failure to apprehend the former minister’s father and personal assistant further raised suspicions about the government’s motives.
The BJP leader, along with the family and people of Punjab, demanded a CBI probe to ensure justice. Jakhar announced plans for a protest in Amritsar on April 4 to escalate the fight for justice. He stressed the need for exemplary punishment for the accused and vowed to continue the struggle until justice prevails. Additionally, he mentioned the party’s initiative to engage MPs and MLAs in Punjab to seek a CBI investigation by appealing to the Central government.
