Upinder Kaur, the wife of Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, a district manager with the Punjab Warehousing Corporation (PWC), has said that his postmortem and last rites will not be carried out “until justice is delivered.”
Talking to reporters on Sunday, Kaur said, “Postmortem and last rites will be conducted only after that... I want justice and nothing else,” reported news agency ANI.
Randhawa allegedly died after consuming a poisonous substance at around 7 am on Saturday. His death by suicide has triggered a political storm in Punjab, with serious allegations emerging against former transport minister Laljit Singh Bhullar.
The widow of the PWC official accused Bhullar of repeatedly harassing her husband and pushing him to the brink.
“Transport minister Laljit Singh Bhullar tortured my husband a lot. My husband was made so helpless that he took his own life... He was told that his family, his children, would be finished off, and gangsters would be put after him,” ANI quoted her as saying.
A case was registered against the former minister, his father Sukhdev Singh Bhullar, and another aide on charges of abetment of suicide.
