Chandigarh (National Times): Former Punjab Deputy Chief Minister and sitting MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has alleged that jailed gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria has issued death threats against his son. The Congress leader claimed in a social media post, accusing the Punjab government of failing to curb lawlessness.
Randhawa said the threat came shortly before a firing incident outside a pagri centre where his son was present. According to police, two unidentified assailants on a motorcycle opened fire at the centre, with bullets striking the window panes. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Following the attack, DSP Vipin Kumar and SHO Prabhjot Singh reached the scene and launched an investigation.
In his tweet, Randhawa wrote: “Jailed gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuriya has threatened to kill my son. One of my associates met my son and within an hour of leaving, he was fired upon. I am in Delhi for the Parliament session – NO GANGSTER CAN SHAKE ME! @BhagwantMann and @ArvindKejriwal have turned…”
Police are reviewing CCTV footage and gathering evidence to identify the shooters, while security around Randhawa’s family has been tightened.
