Harsimrat further alleged that the accused in the previous attack was “roaming free” and accused senior Punjab Police officials of “hushing up” the case.
“I have written to the Home Minister demanding an NIA probe because a massive conspiracy lies behind this,” she said, calling for strict action against anyone involved, including police officers or politicians.
She also questioned the Punjab Government and police’s handling of the 2024 attack, arguing that the latest incident warranted a central investigation.
