A CCTV footage has been making rounds on social media in which two men can be seen robbing people in broad daylight. The caption of the video claims that the incident took place in Punjab’s Rajpura.
The caption in Punjabi read: “ਆ ਦੇਖ ਲੋ ਸਾਡੇ ਰਾਜਪੁਰਾ ਦਾ ਹਾਲ,, ਸ਼ਰੇਆਮ ਪਿਸਟਲ ਚੁੱਕੀ ਫਿਰਦੀ ਆ ਮੰਡੀਰ
ਪਰਸ਼ਾਸਨ ਨਾਲ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਬੰਨਿਆ ਹੁੰਦਾ,, ਤਾਂ ਹੀ ਇਹ ਟੁੱਚੂ ਜਿਹੇ ਬੰਦੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਡਰਾ ਕੇ ਲੁੱਟ ਰਹੇ ਨੇ
ਇਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਡਰਾਵੇ ਪੁਲਿਸ ਆਮ ਬੰਦੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਹੀ ਜੋਰ ਅਜਮਾਇਸ਼ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਿਉ”
(Translation: “Look at the condition of our Rajpura. The boys are walking around openly, with the pistols in their hands. The administration is bribed. This is the reason why such boys are looting the people. The police should scare them and not the public”)
