Punjab BJP Chief Alleges Police Collusion With AAP in Undemocratic Acts
He urges an impartial inquiry into cases he argues expose the misuse of state power.
Overview
- At a Chandigarh briefing, Sunil Jakhar alleged sections of the Punjab Police have "bowed" to the AAP government, calling them "gangsters in uniform" who help rig elections and extort money.
- He cited recent cases to claim law and order is worsening, naming the Ferozepur killing of an RSS leader's son, two deaths in a Ludhiana marriage palace shooting, and an attack on AAP leader Daljit Raju's home in Phagwara.
- On a viral Patiala SSP audio clip, he said police declared it AI-generated within two hours without an inquiry and issued summons to journalists and political leaders.
- He asserted that a High Court‑supervised probe showed jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s interview was conducted from Punjab, contradicting what he said was a DGP affidavit.
- He invoked Arvind Kejriwal’s November 7 warning to gangsters to leave the state, claiming crimes continued since then, and he presented the BJP as willing to rein in "black sheep" within the force.
