The shocking news comes just a day after Punjab Chief Minister Bahagwant Mann, while speaking at a state-level function at the Guru Nanak Stadium on the occasion of India's 75th Independence Day, called on the people of Punjab to make the State 'rangla' (vibrant) again by waging a war against social maladies like unemployment, corruption and communalism, hampering the prosperity of its people, news agency PTI reported. 

Punjab CM Bahagwant Mann said the people of Punjab planted a sapling by bringing the Aam Aadmi Party to power in the State and the plant has started bearing fruits now. From now on, Punjab will script a new story of development and progress every day, he said.
