AAP seeks dismissal of Punjab Police officials behind Khanna stripping incident

Chandigarh, April 17, 2020 (Yes Punjab News)

Senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema has accused the Khanna police of abducting and torturing a father and his young son after stripping them, saying the act was highly inhuman and a tantamount to human rights violation.

In a statement issued from the party headquarters, Cheema said that the videos of the inhuman act by the Khanna police, which went viral on social media, showed the policemen hitting the duo, which besides being heart-wrenching, had shamed the ‘Khaki’. He demanded immediate dismissal of the guilty police personnel and a high-level, time-bound judicial probe into the matter.

Cheema said the Khanna incident had hit hard the public’s new-found trust in the police force for waging a formidable battle against the deadly Corona virus from ground zero.

The LoP said he was writing to Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh seeking an exemplary punishment for the guilty policemen to check the recurrence of such macabre incidents in the near future. Cheema also AAP’s legal luminary Gian Singh Mongo to get in touch with the victim’s family and offer legal services pro bono.
