Forcibly Cremated: Punjab's Latest Shame The alleged harassment of Gulzar Singh, a 47 year old Dalit laborer from Sangrur district, who died by suicide after questioning Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema about the rampant drug trade in his village, has sparked a row in Punjab.
But this incident is not just about the mistreatment of one individual; it also highlights systemic failures to protect vulnerable citizens and a culture of impunity that has taken root under the AAP government.
The family's accusation that Gulzar's body was forcibly cremated without their consent reveals a disturbing pattern in Punjab, where those with power are above the law and the marginalized have little recourse.
