As Delhi BJP workers staged a protest outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence, Delhi BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga on Saturday claimed that the Punjab police had barged into his home in large numbers yesterday and arrested him "as they do it with a terrorist".
While the Opposition accused the ruling AAP of misusing the state police for political vendetta, the Punjab Police maintained Bagga was booked on 1 April on a complaint of causing instigation, incitement and criminal intimidation by making, publishing provocative, false and communal inflammatory statements through his interview given to media and through his posts on Twitter.
Condemning the arrest of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Tajinder Bagga in New Delhi, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Friday said Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had sublet the police force to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal to help the latter in settling his petty personal scores.
A complaint has been lodged against Punjab Police officials for misbehaving with a journalist during a joint press conference of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann at The Imperial here.
“I am Proud of the Punjab Police, who have successfully cracked the Ludhiana blast case in less than 24 hours,” said Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Siddharth Chattopadhyaya, while addressing a press conference here at Punjab Police Headquarters on Saturday.
