Punjab Congress leaders Raja Warring and Rajvir Bhullar receive death threats; police tighten

Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring has reportedly received a death threat from gangster Harvinder Singh Rinda, believed to be operating from Pakistan. Sources say the threat surfaced following Warring’s remarks about former Union home minister Buta Singh.

According to police officials, the message warned Warring to stay away from political campaigning until November 11 – the date of polling for the Tarn Taran assembly by-election. A similar threat was also received by Congress leader Rajvir Singh Bhullar.

Police have registered a case and enhanced security arrangements for both leaders. Investigators suspect the threat originated from associates of Rinda, who hails from Tarn Taran district but is believed to be residing in Pakistan for several years.

Law enforcement agencies are coordinating with central security bodies to trace the origin of the communication and ensure the safety of the two politicians amid heightened political activity in Punjab.
