Punjab Man Dies by Suicide After Questioning Minister on Drug Issue

A man in Punjab died by suicide after raising the issue of drug sales before a minister. The incident occurred days after he questioned the minister about the 'chitta' menace, police said. The man consumed poison, leading to his death, according to official reports.

The man had approached the minister Harpal Cheema to raise concerns about drug sales in the area. Following this, he consumed poison and died, police confirmed. Some statements allege that punishment for questioning under the rule of the Guru Dokhi is death, while others claim this was not a suicide but a killing by the government. However, these claims come from a single source and remain unverified.
