Harbhajan Singh Hits Back Over Drug Menace After Police Fact-Check

Harbhajan Singh Hits Back Over Drug Menace After Police Fact-Check

Harbhajan Singh is a famous Indian cricketer who now works as a member of Parliament for the BJP party.

He is worried that drugs are hurting young people in Punjab, the state he cares about.

He shared a video online of two men acting strangely and said drugs had turned them into 'zombies.'

He asked the police and government to seriously tackle the drug problem and to 'save Punjab.'

But the Punjab Police said the video was not filmed in Punjab at all — it was from Sri Ganganagar in Rajasthan.

The police said people should check the facts and location before sharing such videos.

Harbhajan got upset and said the police were using 'paid trolls' to hide the real problem.

Leaders from the AAP government, which runs Punjab, said Singh was sharing false videos to make Punjab look bad.

They demanded an apology and said a legal case may follow.

Both sides agree that drugs are a serious problem in Punjab, but they don't agree about the video or who is to blame.
