Woman Sarpanch Candidate Receives Death Threat from Bambiha Gang

Halwara (Punjab): Ahead of the Punjab panchayat elections scheduled for October 15, tensions are rising as candidates face serious threats. In one alarming incident, Sukhdeep Kaur, a candidate for the position of sarpanch in Tusa village, Halwara block, has received death threats from the notorious Bambiha gang. The threats have been coming from an international number based in England.

Political and Personal Connection
Sukhdeep Kaur’s husband, Hardeep Singh, is a prominent member of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Dakaunda – Dhanner Group) and serves as the vice-president of Halwara Block. He has been actively involved in the farmers’ movement, which may have contributed to the gang’s targeting of his wife.

Rising Election Tensions
This incident highlights the growing concern over the influence of criminal gangs in Punjab’s local elections. The threats against Sukhdeep Kaur have sparked fears for her safety, and the involvement of the Bambiha gang raises serious questions about the role of external forces in the election process.

Punjab’s panchayat elections have become more tense as violence and threats loom over candidates. Authorities are being urged to take immediate action to ensure the safety of candidates like Sukhdeep Kaur and uphold the integrity of the electoral process.
