SAD to file complaint against Rahul Gandhi, Sunil Jakhar

Amritsar, June 25

The SAD has decided to file a police complaint against Congress leaders and other officials for politically influencing the investigation into the Kotkapura firing case and indulging in criminal conspiracy to implicate and defame former CM Parkash Singh Badal and SAD president Sukbir Singh Badal.

SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia said PPCC chief Sunil Jakhar had disclosed that Rahul Gandhi had issued orders to CM Capt Amarinder Singh to frame the Badal family in the sacrilege case. “This constitutes a criminal conspiracy,” he said.

Majithia said the SAD would file a complaint against Rahul Gandhi, Sunil Jakhar, Vigilance Director BK Uppal, as well as the SIT team led by LK Yadav, retired Director (Prosecution) Vijay Singla, DAs Jatinderbir Singh and Dev Dutt and CM’s adviser BIS Chahal, with the Chandigarh Police soon.

Prosecution officials were present at the residence of Badal in Chandigarh when the SIT came to question the former in connection with the Kotkapura firing case. He said Section 156 CrPC clearly stated that the police alone had the power to investigate a case and the role of the prosecution would start only when a challan was presented in court. — TNS
