This tweet triggered a wave of anguish on social media, wherein many persons and military veterans came ion his support demanding immediate police action and protection to life of Col Mukul Dev. Capt Amrinder Singh, CM of Punjab was tagged in many tweets.
Please note that Col Mukul Dev is main petitioner in a case pending in Supreme Court against decision of Govt of India of not giving NFU to military personals, whereas same has been given to civil & CAPF officers. The case is first of its kind in India since independence, where serving officers have challenged decision of Govt of India in court alleging discrimination and neglect of military personals.
On matter being reported, Punjab Police is taking action and investigations are on to find out criminals behind such threatening calls.
Till the timing of writing this report, immediate outcome of investigations are not known which is likely to take some time. However military families are worried over safety of Col Mukul Dev and his family and are demanding proper protection. The matter has also been reported to army authorities.
