Arvind Kejriwal may get into another new trouble

Arvind Kejriwal, who is in the custody of ED in Delhi's liquor scam, may get into new trouble. In case of issuing a written order from custody, new gas may fall on them. Legally, he cannot issue any official order as Chief Minister while in custody, but two such letters have come to light so far, which are said to be signed by Arvind Kejriwal. If it is proved that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had signed the said order while in the custody of ED, then a new case can be registered against him in this matter.

The case of deaths due to poisoned liquor: Sukhpal Singh Khaira held the state government responsible

Senior Punjab Congress leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira has held the state government responsible for nearly two dozen deaths due to consumption of poisoned liquor in Sangrur. Khaira said that these deaths in the native district of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann have made it clear that there is a parallel liquor mafia running in Punjab. He said that when there were deaths due to alcohol in Amritsar, at that time Bhagwant Mann, being a Member of Parliament, demanded to file a case of murder against the representatives of the government, now he should apply the same thing to himself.
