Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, Partap Singh Bajwa, stood in solidarity with Congress workers in a protest following the death of Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, a District Manager at the Punjab State Warehousing Corporation. Bajwa emphasized that the issue goes beyond one family, highlighting the need for justice, accountability, and protection of honest officers in Punjab.
Bajwa expressed concern over the circumstances surrounding Randhawa’s death, citing allegations of illegal confinement and extortion. He called for swift and thorough legal action, including invoking the Prevention of Corruption Act against Laljit Singh Bhullar, a former minister accused of coercing a public servant.
Demanding accountability from various authorities, Bajwa urged for a comprehensive investigation that includes officials at different levels, emphasizing that accountability should not be selective. He raised questions about the handling of the case, including the seizure of mobile phones and collection of mobile tower data to identify individuals involved in the incident.
Bajwa stressed the importance of a thorough and fair investigation, cautioning against any attempts to undermine justice through legal loopholes. He reiterated the Congress’s commitment to pursuing the matter until justice is served and emphasized the need for a transparent and robust legal process to prevent future abuses of power.
