Suspended Punjab cop accuses Punjab minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu of involvement in '92 blast

In a major embarrassment for Punjab cabinet minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu, suspended Punjab Police DSP Balwinder Singh Sekhon on Sunday accused him of masterminding a bomb blast at Gur Mandi area of Ludhiana in 1992. Balwinder Singh Sekhon alleged Ashu is a former Khalistani terrorist who worked with Bhindranwale Tiger Force of Khalistan (BTFK) and demanded his removal for involvement in anti-national and heinous crimes.

"The statements given by Ashu to the police in 1992 say he was part of Bhindranwale Tiger Force of Khalistan (BTFK) that used to harbour arms and ammunition provided logistics support to Khalistani terrorists and was involved in the murder of three people including a lady Home Guard, Constable Shyam Sundar and his uncle. He is a very dangerous person and can kill me. He should be removed as a minister," Balwinder Singh Sekhon said.
