BJP Rajya Sabha MP Tarun Chugh on Thursday claimed Punjab Police conducted the last rites of a Dalit man from Sangrur, who committed suicide, against his family’s wishes and accused the AAP government of crossing “all limits of injustice” against the community.

Gulzar Singh, a 47-year-old Dalit man from Dirba in Sangrur district, died on Monday night after allegedly consuming poison. His family said he had questioned Finance Minister Harpal Cheema about the supply of drugs in the area during an event in Dirba on September 6.

In a post on X, Chugh alleged that police forcibly conducted Singh’s funeral.

“The shameful, deceitful, and hideous face of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has once again been exposed.
