Allegations of Law and Order Collapse in Punjab's Gangster Paradise

Senior Congress leader Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa alleges that jailed gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria threatened his son, highlighting state law enforcement's failures. Despite the AAP government's assurance of zero tolerance for crime, Randhawa criticizes Punjab's deteriorating safety. This incident underscores the ongoing power struggle between political factions over crime management in Punjab.

In a growing political controversy, senior Congress leader Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has accused jailed gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria of threatening his son. The Gurdaspur MP reported the matter to Punjab's DGP, claiming the incident occurred on Thursday.

Randhawa openly criticized the Punjab law enforcement system, alleging a collapse in state security. He cited an incident where associates of his son were fired upon and complained about objectionable comments targeting his son on social media. Randhawa blamed the AAP government for turning Punjab into a gangster haven.

AAP, in defense, asserted their zero tolerance policy for gangsterism and questioned Randhawa's motives. However, opposition leaders argue that if gangsters can intimidate politicians from prison, ordinary citizens are at even greater risk under the current regime.
