FIR Registered Soon After Resignation
A case has been filed against Laljit Singh Bhullar just hours after he resigned as Punjab’s transport and jails minister. The FIR includes charges of abetment to suicide and names his father and an associate. Police registered the case late at night at a station in Amritsar.
Suicide Case Triggers Political Storm
The controversy began after a Punjab State Warehousing Corporation official allegedly died by suicide. Before his death, he reportedly recorded a video claiming he consumed poison due to fear and harassment linked to the minister. The incident quickly triggered outrage and intensified pressure on the government.
Opposition Demands Probe
Opposition leaders have demanded an independent investigation, with some calling for a CBI probe. The delay in registering the FIR also drew criticism. The resignation marks another setback for the state government amid growing scrutiny over accountability.
