CHANDIGARH: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday met the family of Gulzar Singh in Punjab’s Sangrur, who allegedly died by suicide last month after raising the issue of drug menace.
Shah is on a day-long visit in Punjab to meet the family members of those who died in incidents linked to the state’s drug issue. His visit includes stops in Gurdaspur, Sangrur, and Mansa.
Gulzar, a resident of Turbanjara village in Sangrur district’s Durba, allegedly took his own life on September 7. His family claimed that he consumed poison after being harassed and subjected to casteist slurs for questioning Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema about the supply of drugs in his locality.
