Adding, he said the glaring incident only indicates the total collapse of law and order in Punjab, there appears to be ‘Jungle-Raaj’ with criminals and drug mafia ruling the roost in state.

He added women and ordinary citizens feel unsafe to venture out of their houses alone particularly after the sun set. “There are gangs of criminals with political blessings in every nook of the state”, he alleged.

He further alleged that the highly politicised police of the state is unable to control the deteriorating law and order due to political interference at all levels. Further, he said, “Although I have spoken to the SSP Kapurthala and DSP Bholath, results in this case are not showing”, he regretted.

He, therefore, requested the Home Minister to personally intervene in the matter and ensure justice to aggrieved family.
