It’s not the first time that the minister has claimed this. Even before this attack, the minister has alleged that Diljit Dosanjh had been pressured to join the Bharatiya Janata Party and linked the alleged refusal to the attack on the manager’s residence.
Cheema alleged,” they threaten everyone into joining the party. They had even asked Diljit Dosanjh to join the party and when he refused, there was an attack on the residence of his manager.” So far, police authorities have not come out with an official statement confirming the details of the firing incident or identifying those responsible. It is also very unclear whether anyone has been attacked or not.
Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently lodged in jail, had been linked to various threats and extortion targeting famous celebrities and public figures.
