Punjab Sena head gives up security

Expressing anger at the murder of Gupta, Shiv Sena, Punjab, chairman Rajiv Tandon has given up the police security. Tandon, who was provided six gunmen by the Punjab Police, said there was no use of his security as his companions were being murdered.

“It’s huge embarrassment for the police that our men are repeatedly being attacked and killed despite security. The police provide security to us for the sake of formality. The security is not adequate,” said Tandon.
