The Punjab government has categorically rejected reports that Honeypreet Insan was in Punjab Police custody or was, in any way, being shielded by the state government.

Refuting reports on the social media to the contrary, a Punjab government spokesperson said the state was not involved in the case beyond supporting the Haryana police with intelligence and other relevant inputs.

There was no question of the Punjab Police taking Honeypreet into custody as there was no criminal case registered against her in the state, nor was she in any wanted list, said the spokesperson.

The Punjab government, particularly the police and intelligence departments, were merely providing inputs to the neighbouring state in the interest of justice and to maintain law & order in the region, according to the spokesperson.
