CHANDIGARH: A blame game today erupted between the chief ministers of Haryana and Punjab over the arrest of Honeypreet Insan who claims to be the adopted daughter of the jailed Dera Sacha Sauda chief.While Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar accused the Punjab Police of not sharing information with its Haryana counterpart ahead of her arrest on October 3, Punjab CM Amarinder Singh alleged that the allegations were an attempt to shift attention from the situation in Haryana. "The Punjab Police should have informed the Haryana Police about Honeypreet's whereabouts earlier. Something smells fishy," Khattar told reporters here today.He was responding to questions about Honeypreet appearing before some media channels hours ahead of her arrest. "This (delay in her arrest) has happened due to the Punjab Police. He claimed that the Haryana government and police had failed to take cognisance or act on the information.The chief minister said though the Punjab Police was not pursuing Honeypreet as she was not wanted in any case in the state, there was no question of shielding her.He said Khattar should focus on taking the case to its logical conclusion and on maintaining law and order in Haryana, instead of allegedly wasting time and energy in concocting false charges against the Punjab government and the police.
