Alleging that a "deep-rooted conspiracy" to defame the farmers' protest is behind the Singhu border killing, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa said the state government would reach the bottom of the case to identify the "conspirators".
"There appeared to be a deep-rooted conspiracy to defame the farmers' stir. The government will reach to the bottom of the case and identify and expose as who were the conspirators behind the incident," Mr Randhawa said in the statement issued by this office on Tuesday.
"Lakhbir Singh, the Dalit victim belonged to village Cheema Kalan and was very poor. We need to find out as who lured him to Singhu border and who paid for his travel as he could not even afford his meals," the Deputy Chief Minister observed while adding that he had instructed the local administration to find out under what circumstances he was taken away from his home in Cheema Kalan village to Singhu border.
"The Punjab government will do everything to reach to the root of the conspiracy and expose and punish the culprits," he added.
