Action against Sumedh Saini by Captain government a mere eyewash: Kultar Singh Sandhwan

says if subsequent governments had acted impartially former DGP would have been executed

Nabaz-e-Punjab Bureau, Chandigarh, May 12:
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab spokesman and MLA Kultar Singh Sandhwan on Tuesday described the Punjab government’s action against the former DGP Sumedh Singh Saini in a sensitive case registered 29 years later for allegedly killing the son of a former IAS officer, a mere drama.
In a statement issued from party headquarters on Tuesday, Kultar Singh Sandhwan said that a common man was picked up by the police immediately after registration of an FIR against him or her, alleging how influential persons like Sumedh Singh Saini were given leeway from being arrested immediately after being booked in the case by seeking bail?
Sandhwan said: “We have unflagging faith in the law of the land and respect the decisions of the courts, but the question here was why the police and the law dispensing agencies fail to extend empathy for a common man and allow the high and mighty to have their way”
The AAP leader said that despite the controversial and tainted background of Sumedh Singh Saini, how could he escape arrest despite being involved in serious and sensitive cases? He maintained that if the governments had initiated impartial action against him, the former DGP would have been executed by far the crimes committed by him.
Sandhwan said that the role played by Sumedh Singh Saini in his capacity as then DGP in the desecration of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and Behbal Kalan-Kotkapura shoot-out incidents could not be forgotten, saying that the blue-eyed boy of the Badals, Sumedh Singh Saini remained all-time darling of Captain Amarinder Singh. He said that the prosecution of Sumedh Singh Saini by the Punjab Police and Advocate General was nothing but a mere drama to hoodwink people of the state.
Sandhwan said that if the people of Punjab voted Aam Aadmi Party to power in the 2022 assembly polls, it would not spare any such persons with shady credentials, no matter how high and mighty he or she might be.
