Ludhiana, March 24, 2014; (Punjab Screen Bureau): 

Ludhiana’s AAP candidate for Lok Sabha, Mr. Phoolka visited Gaganpreet Singh Nat’s family who was brutally murdered on the day of Holi. This condolence visit was followed up with a huge candle vigil to raise a voice against the local police who has been shamefully ignoring the case and has not taken a single step to investigate or even register an FIR for the murder.

Gaganpreet’s young sister and father have given a heart wrenching account of what has transpired with them during the candlelight vigil. A video made by AAP to this effect is being launched tonight on Facebook (Vote for change in Ludhiana-Vote for Phoolka) and www.phoolkaforludhiana.com together with a campaign on the social media called JUSTICE FOR GAGANPREET to garner public support for the family.

Gaganpreet was beaten to death after R.D. Sharma, Deputy Mayor threatened the family with dire consequences if he doesn’t leave his daughter.

Jaspreet Kaur, Gagans sister stated “We are facing threats that they will kill my father if we do anything. I will get justice for my brother no matter what. Our family will commit mass suicide if this doesn’t happen and R.D. Sharma, the Punjab Govt. and the Punjab Police will be responsible for it.”

People raised slogans against the Gunda Raj of Punjab government and particularly the  police department. Mr. Phoolka while sharing the grief of the family said, “there can be nothing worse than losing a child in this brutal manner. The accused must be punished appropriately. We support the family in their demand that the Deputy Mayor be suspended and an FIR be immediately registered. We are with them in this fight for justice for their son. The government is waiting on public patience to erupt like a volcano. We will stand by this family against all odds.”

Sharing his emotions and rage before media, Gaganpreet Nat’s father Lakhwinder Singh said, “Since we lost our son, we have knocked every single door to file our case but all in vain. Mr. Phoolka is the first person who has bothered to come to us to share our grief. He is truly sincere and the only hope for this city. I will be with him till the end and even after that.”
