Sandeep Thapar Attack: Police have arrested two of the accused who attacked Shiv Sena leader Sandeep Thapar with swords in broad daylight in Ludhiana, Punjab on Friday from Fatehgarh Sahib.
In fact, today in Ludhiana, four assailants attacked Shiv Sena leader Sandeep Thapar. The leader was seriously injured in this attack. Police said that Sandeep Thapar (58) was attacked when he was coming out of the trust’s office located near the Civil Hospital after attending a function organized on the occasion of the fourth death anniversary of the founder-president of the Sanvedana Trust, Ravinder Arora.
The Sanvedana Trust provides free ambulance service and hearse to patients. The CCTV footage of the incident went viral on social media. In the purported video, the attackers dressed as Nihangs attacked Thapar while he was on a scooter with his security guard sitting behind him. In the video, Thapar is seen talking to the attackers with folded hands when suddenly one of them attacks him with a sword. Passersby can be seen standing at the spot at the time of the incident.
In the video, another attacker is seen pushing Thapar’s security guard away. After Thapar fell, the third attacker also started attacking with a sword. Later, two accused fled on Thapar’s scooter.
Anil Sareen, general secretary of the BJP’s Punjab unit, said Mann is not only the chief minister of the state but also holds the home portfolio. He alleged that ever since the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government came to power in Punjab, the law and order situation in the state has gone from bad to worse.
The BJP leader claimed, “There has been an increase in cases of murder and robbery and activities of gangsters. As a result, a feeling of insecurity has developed among the people.” Sareen said that the Punjab government has proved to be a ‘complete failure’ on the law and order front. He said that in such a situation, the Chief Minister should take moral responsibility for such incidents and resign.
