Suresh Raina of Chennai Super Kings broke his silence after days of speculation about his return from the United Arab Emirates, where the 2020 Indian Premier League will be held. In a couple of tweets, Raina said that “what happened to me family in Punjab was beyond horrible. “
Revealing details of the crime that claimed the lives of her uncle and cousin, and left her aunt and cousin seriously injured, Raina tweeted: “What happened to my family in Punjab was beyond horrible. My uncle was killed to death, my bua and my two cousins had serious injuries. Unfortunately, my cousin also passed away last night after struggling for life for days. My bua is still very, very critical and is on life support ”.
“To date we do not know what exactly happened that night and who did this. I request @PunjabPoliceInd to investigate this matter. At least we deserve to know who did this heinous act on them. These criminals should not be prevented from committing more crimes, ”he said, pointing to the Punjab police and Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh in his tweet.
