Look at the dying stature of bloody @PunjabPoliceInd and their @DGPPunjabPolice, their men just not have attacked and #IndianArmy# officer, but stole his ID card, digitally copied it. @NIA_India should take over this case to investigate the influence behind such a heinous act, and, the audacity and backing is of the height that they haven't even lodged an #FIR#. @BhagwantMann and @AamAadmiParty shouldn't be surprised when like @ArvindKejriwal and @msisodia kind of treatments their party sees in #Punjab#. @HMOIndia should takeover this case.
