Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh condoled the death of cricketer Suresh Raina's relatives in an attack by robbers in Pathankot and assured that the guilty will be brought to book. The CM in a tweet said that he has ordered an SIT probe into the incident. The CM's assurance came after Raina requested the police to look into the incident in a tweet and tagged it to the chief minister. The attack by robbers took place in Pathankot's Tharyal village on the intervening night of August 19 and 20. While the cricketer's uncle died on the spot after sustaining head injuries, a 32-year-old cousin passed away at a private hospital later. According to police, members of the notorious 'Kale Kachhewala' gang attacked them while they were sleeping on the terrace of their house. Raina described the attack on his relatives as 'beyond horrible'. Raina's aunt is critical while his another cousin, Apin is out of danger.
