Chandigarh, April 22 (IANS) Demanding a CBI probe, the Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party’s leader Kaka Kamboj on Wednesday highlighted a sensitive and alarming incident taking place in Jalalabad, raising sharp questions against the Aam Aadmi Party government and its MLA in Fazilka.
He said a woman from Jalalabad, along with her family, was in the process of legally purchasing a property.
In this regard, they had paid an advance of approximately Rs 1.25 to Rs 1.5 crore for a DPS school, with all supporting documents in place.
In the presence of BJP’s Fazilka president, Kaka Kamboj, the family alleged that as soon as this matter reached MLA Goldy Kamboj, they began receiving threatening phone calls, abusive language, and pressure to withdraw their advance payment.
He alleged that, under the MLA’s patronage, a false FIR was lodged against the owners of DPS School, and they were allegedly picked up from their homes and taken to the police station. They were later released under political pressure.
Furthermore, when the family demanded their money back, they were offered only half the amount and were threatened with being implicated in further false cases.
BJP leader Kamboj stated that alleged incidents of police entering homes and intimidating the family have come to light. Family members who are in government jobs are also being pressured to resign.
He added that due to this, the family has gone into depression and has even reached the point of having suicidal thoughts, which is extremely concerning.
Kaka Kamboj stated that the school was legally sold in 2010 and there had been no dispute over it for the past 13 years. All documents, power of attorney, and proof of payments are available.
He alleged that, through political interference, the issue is now being forcibly revived in an attempt to grab the property.
The BJP has demanded that the entire matter be investigated outside the Punjab Police and handed over to the CBI to ensure a fair and impartial probe.
Kaka Kamboj said that if Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is truly honest, he should immediately intervene in the matter and bring out the truth.
