Congress and BJP leaders on Sunday hit out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab over the murder of social media influencer and makeup artist Madhusudan Sandhu, popularly known as Mad Sandhu.
“There is no law and order in Punjab.
The law and order situation in Punjab is in the hands of the mafia,” Sirsa said. Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa questioned the law and order situation in the state after Sandhu was shot dead in Amritsar on Saturday.
He alleged that extortion gangs, mafia groups and the drug mafia were operating in Punjab under the AAP government. Aujla further alleged that businessmen, shopkeepers and other residents were receiving threat calls and facing extortion. He questioned whether the police and chief minister were aware of such incidents and accused the state government of failing to maintain law and order. Sandhu was shot by two unidentified motorcycle-borne men on Loharka Road in Amritsar. The attackers fled immediately after the shooting. Sandhu collapsed on the road and was taken to a nearby private hospital, where he succumbed to injuries.
Siri Vennela, additional deputy commissioner of police (ADCP), City-2, Amritsar , as reported by HT, said that around two to three rounds were fired at Sandhu at close range.
Congress MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla also said the law and order situation in Punjab had “completely collapsed” following Sandhu’s killing and the murder of a sarpanch. The attack took place around 6pm while Sandhu was at a car-wash shop to get his vehicle cleaned, according to the police.
