Punjab MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa alleges threat to son from jailed gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria

Randhawa, who is in Delhi for the ongoing Parliament session, added, “No gangster can shake me.” He also accused the Punjab government of allowing the law and order situation in the state to deteriorate, saying, “@BhagwantMann and @ArvindKejriwal have turned Punjab into a gangster’s paradise where law and order has totally collapsed.”

Speaking to The Indian Express, Randhawa said that on Friday morning, a person named Parminder Singh of Fatehgarh Churian met his son at 10 am, and after the picture of the meeting was posted online, his shop was fired at approximately an hour later.

Bhagwanpuria, a dreaded gangster with over 128 criminal cases, including murder, extortion, arms smuggling, and drug trafficking, is currently detained in Silchar Central Jail, Assam, under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. He was transferred from Bathinda Central Jail in March 2025.

Linked to the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala and associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Bhagwanpuria leads a syndicate known for its extensive criminal activities across Punjab and beyond.

This incident follows a history of tensions between the two as Randhawa has previously accused Bhagwanpuria of influencing voters in Dera Baba Nanak during elections, including the November 2024 Assembly bypoll, where he alleged the gangster’s family was intimidating locals to support AAP candidates.

Conversely, Bhagwanpuria’s relatives have accused Randhawa and his son of involvement in the June 2025 murder of the gangster’s mother, Harjit Kaur, and cousin, Karanvir Singh, in a gang-related attack by the rival Davinder Bambiha gang in Batala. Randhawa has denied these claims, calling them conspiratorial.
