Chandigarh, November 12, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Punjab Cabinet Minister Harpal Singh Cheema has condemned the death threat issued to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, alleging that preliminary findings indicate the accused has direct or indirect links with the BJP. A ransom demand of Rs 7 crore was also reportedly made in connection with the threat.
Cheema said the accused belongs to Haryana and alleged that the BJP was attempting to disturb Punjab’s peaceful atmosphere and create fear and insecurity in the state. He said Punjab was a peace-loving state and would not tolerate attempts to threaten political leaders or disturb communal harmony.
Reaffirming the state government’s commitment to law and order, Cheema said the Bhagwant Mann government would take all necessary steps to protect people and would not allow anyone to disturb Punjab’s peace. He added that strict legal action would be taken against those responsible.
AAP Punjab chief spokesperson Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal said the Punjab Police had traced the accused and registered an FIR in Mohali. He reiterated that the Rs 7 crore ransom demand accompanied the death threat and said the police were pursuing the case.
Dhaliwal said threats and gangster tactics would not intimidate AAP leaders or stop them from working for the people. He demanded that everyone involved in the alleged conspiracy be exposed and face strict legal action.
