Amritsar (Punjab), March 21, 2026: A series of letters allegedly written by Punjab State Warehousing Corporation District Manager Dr Gagandeep Singh Randhawa have surfaced, detailing claims of harassment, threats, and intimidation in the days leading up to his death.
According to the documents, Randhawa described incidents of alleged misbehaviour and coercion that took place on March 13, 2026.
The letters, written between March 14 and March 16, were addressed to senior officials, including Managing Director Gautam Jain and other authorities, seeking intervention.

- The letters contain detailed accounts of alleged threats, pressure, and intimidation faced by Randhawa.
- The first letter, dated March 14, 2026, was addressed to the Managing Director of the Warehousing Corporation, but reportedly received no response.
- A second letter was sent the same day to the same authority, again seeking action.
- A third communication, also dated March 14, was shared with Viney Sharma, President of the Food Grain Employees Union, for information.
- A fourth letter, dated March 16, 2026, was sent to the Deputy Commissioner of Tarn Taran, highlighting threats to his life and that of his family.
Despite these repeated appeals, it is alleged that no concrete action was taken by the authorities.
The letters have intensified the political row, with opposition leaders claiming that timely intervention could have prevented the tragedy. Allegations have also been raised that the lack of response points to administrative failure and possible pressure within the system.
