Chandigarh : Former Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal today informed the DGP that he was under constant surveillance from Punjab intelligence officials and that people close to him were being intimidated constantly. Urging the DGP to put an end to this in a letter addressed to the DGP, which was released to the media here, Manpreet said two teams of the CID had been deployed close to his residence here to track all visitors entering and leaving his house. Giving instances of intimidation, the former Finance Minister said shortly after resigning his post he had stated that he would visit Gurdwara Gupatsar Sahib in Chhateana village in the Gidderbaha constituency. He said a concerted effort was made by many police personnel posted at chowkis and police stations around Gidderbaha to restrain people from assembling. He has also named the police officials who indulged in such activity.
Manpreet said intelligence personnel had tailed him during his visit to Amritsar on November 14 and even contacted his well-wishers to “persuade” them not to attend his public meetings. He said similarly during his “Jago Punjab yatra” intelligence cops noted down the numbers of vehicles which were in the yatra. He said in another incident he was shocked to know that CIG sleuths were present in the dining hall of one of his supporters when he visited him.
