Gurdaspur MP's Son Receives Menacing Messages From Incarcerated Criminal, State Authorities Demand Full Details
The Congress representative disclosed that shortly after one of his colleagues had a meeting with his son during daytime hours, a shooting incident occurred within sixty minutes of their encounter. While addressing the media from the national capital during ongoing parliamentary proceedings, Randhawa declared with defiance that no criminal element could intimidate him.
The parliamentarian launched a scathing attack on the ruling Aam Aadmi Party administration, claiming they have transformed Punjab into a haven for criminal organizations and asserting that public safety and order have deteriorated significantly under their governance.
In response to these serious allegations, AAP representative Neel Garg countered by challenging Randhawa to examine his own party's historical record. Garg asserted that previous Congress administrations had provided support to criminals including Jaggu Bhagwanpuria and had engaged costly legal representation for offenders such as Mukhtar Ansari.
The AAP spokesperson emphasized their party's uncompromising stance against criminal elements and highlighted their commitment to stringent enforcement actions. He urged the Congress MP to cooperate with law enforcement by sharing all relevant threat-related information with police authorities.
Meanwhile, the primary opposition Shiromani Akali Dal's chief communications officer Arshdeep Singh Kler condemned the threatening behavior while simultaneously questioning the absence of preventive measures during Randhawa's previous role overseeing prison administration. Kler highlighted that Jaggu Bhagwanpuria had been making public threats during that period and accused Congress leadership of enabling such criminal activities to continue unchecked.
Local police superintendent Suhail Qasim Mir of Batala district verified two distinct incidents connected to this matter. The first involves menacing commentary posted on a social media video shared by Randhawa's son Uday on Instagram. Investigators have traced the account responsible and requested additional information from the platform, though they caution it remains premature to establish the gangster's direct involvement.
A second incident involved gunfire at a commercial establishment called Dastoor-e-Dastan located in Fatehgarh Churian area. A single bullet was discharged from a .32 caliber firearm, however the intended target appears unrelated to the MP's son. Law enforcement officials believe these two occurrences may be independent events.
In light of these concerning developments, protective measures have been intensified around the parliamentarian's residential property, while his son's personal security detail has received instructions to maintain heightened vigilance and readiness.

Delhi Chief Minister On Air Quality Dipping To 74 For The First Time In A Decade
New Delhi: Citing the latest Air Quality Index of 74, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday highlighted the government's ongoing efforts to reduce the city's pollution, and claimed that for the first time in a decade, the index has come down to such a satisfactory level. Inaugurating a "Jan Seva Kendra" in the Greater Kailash Assembly constituency, the Chief Minister said, "Apart from cleaning the air, we are also committed to cleaning the Yamuna and ending the mountains of garbage." She said her government, after taking note of the public concerns over the proposed ban on end-of-life (EOL) vehicles, approached the court and got a stay on the ban till November 1. "Going forward, bringing the public's voice to every platform, addressing their needs and demands, is our responsibility. As this is not the same government that only made hollow promises. Today's government is genuinely working to reduce Delhi's pollution," she said. CM Gupta said she aspires to make the city so beautiful and habitable that people are not forced to shift out of here. Calling her government's decision to allow commercial establishments to operate 24x7 historic, the CM said, "The licensing process is also going to be simplified and replaced with a single-window system." The CM slammed the earlier AAP government and legislators, saying, "Earlier, MLAs remained confined to their offices and homes. But each MLA of the BJP is now working tirelessly for the public." At an earlier event, she said the government is aiming to ensure that the bed per 1,000 patient ratio should improve to 5 from the current level of around 2.7. CM Gupta also announced her government's plans to introduce a PPP model for purchasing medical equipment in hospitals and complete the development of the 24 hospitals whose construction was suspended midway by the previous government. Later, taking to the social media platform X, the CM said, "Today, the Jan Seva Kendra was inaugurated in the Greater Kailash Assembly constituency and dedicated to public service." "This centre will serve as an effective medium for resolving the problems of the common people, providing information about the schemes of the Central and State Governments, and delivering prompt assistance to those in need, in line with the commitment of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to service and good governance," she wrote. "The BJP's double-engine government is committed to ensuring that development, service, and rights reach the last person in line in a time-bound manner," she wrote.

Mahesh Goud and Meenakshi Natarajan to lead BC leaders in a train to New Delhi today
Telangana Congress president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud and AICC in-charge of state affairs Meenakshi Natarajan will leave in a special train from Hyderabad on Monday, along with a delegation of Backward Classes leaders, to New Delhi to participate in the dharna seeking 42% reservations to Backward Classes. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will lead the dharna at Jantar Mantar on August 6, demanding Presidential assent for the Backward Classes reservation Bills passed by the Telangana Assembly. The Congress has planned a series of protests from August 5 to 7. Meanwhile, the Janahita Padayatra of Mr. Mahesh Goud and Meenakshi Natarajan continued in Adilabad district. Addressing a roadside meeting in Khanapur on Sunday evening, Ms. Meenakshi said the foot march is being organised by drawing inspiration from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's historic pan-India 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'. It symbolises Congress's ideology of social justice, inclusive growth and upliftment of marginalised sections, she said. She said the Congress's ideals are rooted in unity and social inclusion as against the BJP's divisive politics. The holistic and inclusive development model of Telangana set an example for other States to emulate, she said, listing out a plethora of flagship welfare schemes of the Telangana government. The Congress government has sanctioned title deeds to tribal farmers under the RoFR Act and initiated concrete measures for the empowerment of tribal people and marginalised sections of society, she said, referring to the recently passed 42% BC quota bills. Mr. Mahesh Kumar Goud, Ministers D. Anasuya (Seethakka) and Jupally Krishna Rao and others spoke.
