Punjab official suicide: Opposition steps up pressure for Laljit Singh Bhullar’s arrest
Allegations of harassment leading to suicide raise concerns about abuse of power.
Opposition parties in Punjab, including the Indian National Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party, and Shiromani Akali Dal, are demanding the immediate arrest of Laljit Singh Bhullar, a senior leader of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party, following allegations that he harassed and pressured a state warehousing corporation official to award a tender. The deceased official, Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, allegedly died by suicide after accusing Bhullar of pressuring him into accepting a bribe. The family of the deceased has refused to perform the last rites or permit a post-mortem until Bhullar is arrested, and opposition parties are demanding an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
