Day after meeting Mann, Colonel Bath’s wife says no action taken

A day after meeting Punjab CM Bhawgant Mann seeking strict action against the cops who allegedly assaulted an Army officer and his son, the family said they “felt let down” and “would continue to fight for justice”. “I was assured of strict action by Monday evening, but till now 24 hours after the meeting, I have yet not heard from the CM’s office and am losing faith in the assurance by the CM,” said Jaswinder Kaur, wife of Colonel Colonel Pushpinder Singh Bath.

“I still hope that the CM puts out a statement. I feel let down by the government as no action has been taken 19 days after the brutal attack,” she said.
