Chandigarh: Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema has made serious allegations claiming that attempts are being made to create unrest in non-BJP ruled states through criminal networks, specifically naming the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in his statement.
According to a post shared on the Aam Aadmi Party Punjab’s official X handle, Cheema alleged that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has taken responsibility for the recent firing incident at the residence of singer Diljit Dosanjh’s manager.
