MP Cites Rise in Cross‑Border Terror and Gang Activity in Punjab

Rhandawa also blamed overseas gangster networks based in Canada, the United States and Portugal for orchestrating crime in Punjab. He recounted the apprehension of a module in April 2026 in Amritsar that was found carrying four kilograms of heroin and four pistols, allegedly smuggled across the border.

The MP leveled serious accusations against the Punjab police, alleging that the Aam Aadmi Party government was politicising the force, sidelining honest officers and appointing politically sympathetic ones. He referenced the May 2026 killing of ASI Joga Singh and a wave of nine murders across the state in the first week of January 2026, urging an impartial deployment of police resources ahead of the 2027 assembly elections.
