Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann Vows Justice After Hooch Tragedy; Opposition Demands Accountability

“Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann Vows Justice After Hooch Tragedy; Opposition Demands Accountability”

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, on a visit to Gujran village in Sangrur district, promises justice to families affected by a suspected spurious liquor incident, as police register a murder case against 10 accused under IPC Section 302.

Amidst criticism from the Opposition, including BJP’s Tarun Chugh alleging a “liquor scam” under AAP’s watch, the Mann-led government faces scrutiny over the tragedy that claimed 20 lives in Sangrur.

Calls for accountability grow as Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and BJP demand Excise Minister Harpal Singh Cheema’s resignation. Cheema, pledging support to victims’ families, assures exemplary punishment for those involved.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by ADGP Gurinder Singh Dhillon is formed to probe the incident, while police invoke Section 61-A of the Excise Act, punishable with life imprisonment or death penalty.

Victims continue treatment at Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, and Sangrur Civil Hospital, with casualties reported from Gujran, Tibbi Ravidas Pura, and Dhandoli Khurd villages.
