Arrest Follows FIR in Suicide Case
Former Punjab minister Laljit Singh Bhullar has been arrested in connection with the alleged suicide of Punjab State Warehousing Corporation official Gagandeep Singh Randhawa. Police action came a day after an FIR was registered based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s wife.
Allegations of Harassment and Pressure
The complaint accuses Bhullar, his father, and an aide of pressuring the official over tender allocations. The family alleged mental harassment, threats, and coercion, claiming these actions pushed Randhawa to take the extreme step.
Political Fallout Intensifies
The case has triggered protests and political tension across Punjab. Opposition leaders demanded strict action, while Bhullar denied all allegations and called for a fair probe. Investigations are ongoing to determine accountability.
