Amarinder flays Majithia's disgraceful targeted attack on DGP over hooch tragedy

Chandigarh, Aug 13 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Thursday said the targeted attack by SAD against a senior and highly professional officer of Punjab Police was yet another shameful attempt by them to exploit the unfortunate hooch tragedy to push their own political agenda with an eye on the next Assembly polls in the state.
The Chief Minister was reacting to Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Majithia’s statement accusing DGP Dinkar Gupta of `shielding’ SSP Amritsar Rural over the latter’s alleged failure to act on a complaint against the liquor mafia, leading to the tragedy.
There was no question or need of `shielding’ an officer who had an unblemished track record, including against drug and illicit liquor smugglers/ traders, said the Chief Minister, adding that SSP Dhruv Dahiya had, in fact, been on his personal security team. “A person with links with mafia, as was being suggested by the SAD, could hardly be trusted with my security,” he quipped.
