A special investigation team set up by the DGP Punjab will probe the brutal attack on family members of cricketer Suresh Raina at their house in Punjab’s Pathankot. Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, while giving his condolences to Suresh Raina, tweeted the special investigation team or SIT “will make sure that the guilty are brought to justice”.
The 33-year-old cricketer had appealed to the CM Amarinder Singh to probe the matter after Kaushal Kumar (32), cousin of Suresh Raina breathed his last on Monday night.
Raina lost his 58-year-old uncle too after the family was attacked at their Pathankot home reportedly by robbers on August 20.
“Condole the brutal attack on kin of @ImRaina in Pathankot. Have ordered SIT probe into the case and have asked @DGPPunjabPolice to identify & arrest the culprits at the earliest. Beta, my DC & SSP have met the family and we will make sure that the guilty are brought to justice,” Amarinder Singh tweeted.

Raina had tweeted an appeal to the Amarinder Singh government seeking a thorough investigation and nab those behind the attack.
“What happened to my family is Punjab was beyond horrible. My uncle was slaughtered to death, my bua & both my cousins had severe injuries. Unfortunately my cousin also passed away last night after battling for life for days. My bua is still very very critical & is on life support,” the left-handed batsman tweeted.
Till date we don’t know what exactly had happened that night & who did this. I request @PunjabPoliceInd to look into this matter. We at least deserve to know who did this heinous act to them. Those criminals should not be spared to commit more crimes. @capt_amarinder @CMOPb
