Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, a former IPS officer on Friday took a dig at his own government led by Chief Miniser Bhagwant Mann over sluggishness in cases surrounding the 2015 Kotkapura and Behbal Kalan police firing incidents, following the Bargari sacrilege incidents.
Mr. Singh currently MLA from Amritsar (north) was a former Inspector General of Police (IGP), who was a member of the Special Investigating Team (SIT) probing the 2015 Kotkapura and Behbal Kalan police firing incidents post the ‘Bargari’ sacrilege case.
In a letter to the Chief Minister, Mr. Singh, pointing out that several writ petitions are pending regarding Behbal Kalan and Kotkapura firing cases in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and Supreme Court of India - wrote that he has got to know that “..these cases have not been pursued in a proper and just manner,” adding that even in the court of sessions at Faridkot, these cases have been abandoned from the prosecution side.
