Congress stages street protest in Punjab over Gulzar Singh suicide case, burns Harpal Cheema's effigy

Punjab saw a political rally today as Congress workers gathered outside the Superintendent of Police office to press for a formal investigation into the recent suicide of Gulzar Singh. The protesters carried placards demanding that authorities file a case and hold those responsible accountable. In a symbolic act, an effigy of state Finance Minister Harpal Cheema was set ablaze, reflecting anger over perceived inaction. Police reported that the demonstration remained largely peaceful, though the burning of the effigy prompted a brief dispersal of the crowd. The protest underscores growing political pressure in the state over the handling of the suicide case.
