Behbal Kalan: Victims’ Families Outraged Over Controversial Police Appointment
The Behbal Kalan Insaaf Morcha and families of the 2015 police firing victims have vehemently opposed the elevation of a police officer allegedly implicated in the incident to a senior position in Faridkot. This appointment, they claim, is a blatant attempt to undermine the ongoing investigation.
Sukhraj Singh Niamiwala, a prominent Morcha leader, directly accused the Punjab government of deliberately weakening the case against those responsible for the tragic killings. He asserted that this promotion sends a chilling message to the victims and their families.
The Morcha has called for an immediate reversal of the appointment, demanding accountability for the 2015 incident. They plan to intensify their protests to pressure the government into action.
This controversial decision comes at a time when the case is already facing significant delays. The families fear this appointment will further jeopardize their pursuit of justice, highlighting a deep-seated lack of faith in the state’s commitment to accountability. The incident, which occurred on October 14, 2015, continues to be a sensitive issue in Punjab, with victims’ families demanding justice and closure.
