AP govt hand in glove with gangsters: Chugh

Chandigarh, Aug 08: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh today lambasted the Bhagwant Mann government in Punjab for facilitating the life of gangsters in prisons.

Reacting strongly to the SIT report submitted to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chugh said it clearly exposed the police-gangster nexus in the state, a press release said.

Chugh said that such a situation could not arrive without political patronage to the gangsters. “As the SIT report has indicated that Lawrence Bishnoi interview happened at a time when he was in the custody of CIA in Kharar it proves beyond doubt that the police has been hand-in-glove with the gangster,” he said.

The senior BJP leader said, “The law and order situation in the state has completely collapsed as there has been a series of incidents of loot and ransom every other day.”

He said Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who is also the state Home Minister, owes an explanation to the people of the state in view of the findings of the SIT report.
