Shiromani Akali Dal President also spoke to the SSP, Mohali, and asked him to take prompt action in the case. He said the delay in nabbing the accused had sent out a message that they were being provided political shelter.
“This is unacceptable. We cannot compromise on the dignity of our women”, he told the SSP. Badal said such a state of affairs was happening in the State because chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh had sublet governance to bureaucrats who were oblivious to the suffering of the people.
He said it was astonishing that the pain and suffering of the victim's family had not reached the office of the chief minister which was ten kilometers away till now.
NK Sharma while speaking on the occasion said the victim – Kuldeep Kaur was posted as a clerk in the Technical Education and Training Department. He said even though a case had been registered against two employees of the department, no arrest has been made so far.
