Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticised the Punjab administration, alleging that Gulzar Singh was subjected to torture for questioning, calling it a dangerous pattern of silencing dissent.
The suicide of Gulzar Singh in Punjab has become a flashpoint after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took to social media to condemn the state government's handling of the case. Gandhi asserted that the deceased was allegedly tortured after he raised questions, suggesting a systematic effort to suppress dissent.
In his post, Gandhi described the alleged torture as part of a "dangerous pattern" of silencing voices that challenge official narratives. He urged the central authorities to intervene and ensure a transparent investigation, warning that such practices undermine democratic norms.
The Punjab administration has not issued an official response to Gandhi's allegations as of now. Observers note that the case has already drawn public attention, and any further developments will likely be closely monitored by both political parties and civil society groups.
