HC order to transfer Colonel assault case to Chandigarh Police a rebuke to AAP govt: Partap Bajwa

Punjab Leader of Opposition Partap Bajwa has welcomed the Punjab & Haryana High Court’s order to hand over the case of assault on Col PS Bath and his son to the Chandigarh Police.

In a post on his X account, he wrote, “The Punjab & Haryana High Court has rightly directed the Chandigarh Police to investigate the assault on Col. PS Bath and his son, bringing a ray of hope to the Bath family.”

“This decision is a strong rebuke to the @AAPPunjab government, which has repeatedly denied a fair probe. The HC has set a four-month deadline for the investigation, but I urge Chandigarh Police to expedite the process and deliver justice at the earliest,” he stated.

He added, “Shockingly, a person has been caught spying on Mrs Bath — an appalling and unacceptable act. The Bath family is already facing threats due to their relentless fight for justice. If anything untoward happens to her, the responsibility will rest squarely on the @BhagwantMann government.”
