DM Randhawa Case: Family to seek CBI probe, slams Punjab police investigation
Babushahi Bureau
Amritsar (Punjab), April 26, 026: The family of deceased DM Gagandeep Singh Randhawa has intensified its demand for justice, with his wife Upinder Kaur announcing plans to approach the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking a CBI investigation into the case.
Addressing a press conference nearly 35 days after the incident, Upinder Kaur expressed dissatisfaction over the pace and direction of the probe by the Punjab Police. She pointed out that only one arrest has been made so far, despite several names allegedly surfacing during the investigation.
Raising serious concerns, she alleged that key individuals, including close associates and family members linked to former minister Laljit Singh Bhullar, have neither been questioned nor had their statements formally recorded.
She also questioned claims made in court regarding age-related arguments, stating that those seeking relief continue to remain active in official and business dealings.
Upinder Kaur further highlighted that statements under Section 164 have not yet been recorded, adding to her lack of confidence in the ongoing investigation. “We no longer trust the Punjab Police probe and will move the High Court on Monday for a CBI inquiry,” she said.
In an emotional appeal, she demanded strict punishment for those responsible, stating that her family continues to live in fear. She also dismissed rumours of any compromise, asserting that the family remains committed to pursuing justice.
