AJAY KUMAR MURDER CASE: SUNIL JAKHAR JOINS FAMILY’S PROTEST OUTSIDE VIDHAN SABHA FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY

Raj Sadosh/Abohar/Chandigarh:

On the second day of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha session, former Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar again joined the family of Ajay Kumar of Abohar for a sit-in outside the Assembly. The family had also protested outside the Vidhan Sabha yesterday.

Ajay Kumar was shot outside Valmiki Mandir in Abohar on September 27 and died during treatment on October 19. His family alleges that the police have failed to act against the actual culprits despite the statement he gave before his death. It is also pertinent to mention that testimony by Ajay’s brother had led to the conviction of the suspect in Ajay case in Bhim Tank murder case. The family is now accusing the same people of involvement in Ajay’s murder.

Sunil Jakhar demanded that the government register an FIR based on Ajay Kumar’s statement before his death. “We are being forced to return here repeatedly to make this deaf government hear us. Yet neither the Chief Minister nor any minister in his government has the courage to listen to this family’s plea,” he said. Jakhar alleged that the person accused by the family is a favourite of Manish Sisodia and Arvind Kejriwal, adding that Kejriwal himself had blessed him on the very day Ajay was murdered.

Accusing the Aam Aadmi Party of criminalising politics, Jakhar said that providing police protection to a criminal serving life-sentence (now out on bail and covering up his wrongdoing) exposed the AAP government’s double standards.

Jakhar further alleged that the person in question had committed a Rs 220 crore bank fraud in collusion with certain PNB officials. He claimed that the AAP had provided him with police protection to prevent the bank from recovering its dues by auctioning his properties.

Jakhar said he would accompany the family to the protest every day for as long as the Assembly session continued.

Ajay’s mother and sister alleged that the person who committed the murder had posted a video threatening people while referring to his political patron, “Sholi”. They further alleged that this same political patron’s kin was AAP’s Halqa Incharge.

The allegations could not be independently verified.
