The Bhagwant Mann Government has sent out a clear and uncompromising message against crime, demonstrating both reach and resolve by bringing back Kamal Kaur murder accused Amritpal Singh Mehron from the UAE even as it intensifies its crackdown on gangster networks operating from abroad. Highlighting how such syndicates are funding shooters in states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann underscored that several such operatives have already been arrested in Punjab, while the AAP government continues to coordinate closely with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of External Affairs to track down and extradite accused from across the world.
Interacting with media persons, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said the Punjab Government is in constant touch with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of External Affairs to ensure the deportation of gangsters and criminals wanted in Punjab, noting that these sustained efforts are yielding results with several key accused already brought back. “The law and order situation in Punjab remains normal and emphasised that the ongoing Gangsters te Vaar campaign is delivering a decisive blow to crime,” he affirmed.
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, “All those gangsters about whom we receive information are not operating their network from Punjab, but are running their operations from abroad. Some individuals are supplying weapons, while there are shooters who are being paid in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar; many such shooters have also been arrested.”
Highlighting the coordinated response mechanism, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann added, “When we receive such information, we immediately contact the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of External Affairs, and we have been able to bring some of them back. Some come from Dubai, sometimes from Portugal, sometimes from England, sometimes from America, and sometimes from Canada,” underlining the global spread of these criminal networks and the government’s crackdown.
Reaffirming Punjab’s identity and the government’s commitment, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, “Punjab is a peace-loving state. It is a land of people who wish for the welfare of all, and we too are constantly working for the well-being of everyone.”
Meanwhile, AAP Punjab General Secretary Baltej Pannu welcomed the successful apprehension of key accused Amritpal Singh Mehron in the Kamal Kaur murder case, stating that his arrest and return from the United Arab Emirates reflects the firm commitment of the Bhagwant Singh Mann-led government to uphold law and order.
Baltej Pannu said that the social media influencer Kamal Kaur was murdered in Bathinda in June last year, and since then, Punjab Police had been consistently pursuing the accused. He added that under the leadership of CM Bhagwant Singh Mann, the government adopted a zero tolerance policy against crime, which ensured that the accused was tracked and brought back to face justice.
He emphasised that anyone who believes they can commit a crime in Punjab and escape by hiding in another state or country is living under a serious misconception. “No matter where they go, they will be traced and brought back,” Baltej Pannu asserted.
Reiterating the government’s strong willpower, Baltej Pannu said that no individual who takes the law into their own hands will be spared. He affirmed that such offenders will be brought back from any corner of the world and punished strictly as per the law.
