No faith in police probe into attack on Sikh preacher: Channi

Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi today alleged that Punjab police is "totally managing a one sided show" on the issue of attack on Sikh preacher Sant Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale and said only a CBI probe can bring out the truth.
After meeting Dhandriawala at Parmeshwar, he said, "We have is no faith in the inquiry by Punjab Police as it is totally managing the show one sided till now," adding a CBI probe was the only way out.
Unidentified assailants had opened fire at the cavalcade of Dhadrianwale on May 17 in which he had a narrow escape, but his aide Bhupinder Singh Khalsa died.

"An associate of the preacher was killed in the incident. How can the SGPC form a peace committee and try to make a compromise (with radical Damdami Taksal)," the Congress Legislature Party leader asked.
On law-and-order situation in Punjab, Channi claimed that the ruling SAD-BJP alliance has utterly failed on this front.
"The number of incidents related to various crimes is increasing day by day but Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal still claims the Punjab 'safe state'," he said.
"I think either the deputy CM is not updated about the reality in the state or he is not having a professional PR guy who keeps him updated on the incidents happenings in Punjab," he said.
