“The only ones feeling safe in Punjab are gangsters ruling over the state police force from inside the jails and this is happening in active collusion with the state government,” said Jakhar while interacting with mediapersons after visiting the late sarpanch’s family at his native village. “A month before the murderous attack on Sonu Cheema, his son was attacked and there were enough threats to his life then too, but this government did nothing,” Jakhar added.
