Official's suicide: Family issues ultimatum for arrest former Punjab minister Bhullar

CHANDIGARH: (Mar 23) The family of a warehousing corporation official, who committed suicide after alleging harassment by former minister Laljit Singh Bhullar, on Monday issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the Punjab government to arrest him.

Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, the district manager of Punjab State Warehousing Corporation in Amritsar, allegedly ended his life by consuming poison early Saturday, and a video appeared in which he purportedly claimed harassment by Bhullar, who resigned as minister later in the day at the direction of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann amid the row.

The family of Randhawa has already said that they would not allow a post-mortem examination and cremation until Bhullar is arrested.
