New Delhi:
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s daughter has received death threats in the US, Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal alleged today, urging the Indian embassy in the US to ensure her safety.
Seerat Kaur, who stays in Seattle, has allegedly received threats amid protests against the Punjab police’s crackdown on separatist Amritpal Singh.
Expressing concern over the reports, Ms Maliwal said that the threats are an act of cowardice.
“Read reports of Punjab CM Shri Bhagwant Mann’s daughter receiving death threats in the USA. It is an act of extreme cowardice. I appeal to the Indian Embassy US to ensure her safety,” the DCW chief tweeted.
