Colonel's wife accuses Punjab CM of betrayal

Jaswinder Bath, wife of Colonel Pushpinder Singh Bath, accused Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann of failing to act on his assurances against the cops implicated in the assault on her husband. Jaswinder met Mann in Chandigarh Monday, seeking action against the officers charged with attacking Bath on March 14.

However, she now claims she was misled by the CM's promises. "I saw hope when CM assured me of justice," Jaswinder said in a video message on Tuesday. "But, now, I feel deceived. Punjab govt seems to be playing same game as the police - first registering a false FIR, then making superficial suspensions, and now failing to take real action."

She said that since her meeting with Mann, neither his office nor any officials contacted her, despite his assurances. "I have been calling the CM's OSD since Monday , but he hasn't responded to a single message... It feels like the govt just wanted to end our protest, not deliver justice."
