The family of Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, a 45-year-old official of the Punjab State Warehousing Corporation (PSWC), is expressing dissatisfaction with the police investigation into his suicide, which occurred on March 21 at his home in Amritsar, Punjab, India. Randhawa's wife, Upinder Kaur, publicly criticized the investigation, highlighting that only one of the accused, former minister Laljit Singh Bhullar, has been arrested while others, including Bhullar's father and personal assistant, remain at large. In a 12-second video recorded before his death, Randhawa implicated Bhullar as a source of distress, alleging he was assaulted and pressured to approve tenders. Kaur has raised concerns about the lack of action from authorities, stating that key evidence, including a weapon used in the assault, has not been recovered. Despite assurances from DCP RPS Sandhu that the investigation is ongoing, Kaur insists that the police have failed to act effectively, demanding justice for her husband and accountability for all involved.
