Colonel's wife also informed that they will be meeting Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann regarding the incident and harrassment they have faced.
“We will meet Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann tomorrow and see what he says. We have informed Rajnath Singh about the harassment we have faced,” she said.
The Bath couple during the meeting which lasted for 25 minutes, were accompanied by their relative and BJP leader from Patiala, Gurtej Singh Dhillon.
Earlier on Friday, the court reprimanded Punjab government over its response in delay in registration of FIR. The government had cited farmers protest as one of the many reasons for delay. The Bench questioned the police about the number of FIRs registered across Patiala district during the period.
The Bench asked the State to categorically explain whether the action taken so far was sufficient.
