Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Tuesday called the lynching of a labourer at the Singhu border a possible conspiracy to defame the farmers’ agitation, citing a purported photograph of Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar with a Nihang “leader”. The group photo includes Tomar and a man in blue robes of the Sikh order of the Nihangs.
All three accused namely, Narayan Singh, Bhagwant Singh and Govind Preet Singh, were sent to police custody for six days in connection with the gruesome lynching and murder at Singhu Border.
