A look at the timeline of Friday's dramatic cat-and-mouse game raises questions on whether legal processes were flouted for political objectives.
Did Haryana Police stop the Punjab Police team taking BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga to Mohali even before Delhi Police registered an FIR under charges of kidnapping?
A look at the timeline of Friday's dramatic cat-and-mouse game suggests so, raising questions on whether legal processes were bypassed for political objectives.
According to Delhi Police, they received a complaint of kidnapping from Mr Bagga's father at 12.35 pm yesterday and the FIR was registered at 12.41 pm. Thereafter, they moved the Dwarka court for a search warrant and alerted police in neighbouring Haryana.
"Learned Additional Solicitor General of India submits that in pursuant to registration of FIR No.327 dated 06.05.2022, as detailed above, at the instance of Preetpal Singh Bagga, father of Tejinder Pal Singh Bagga, search warrant to effect appearance of said Tejinder Pal Singh Bagga was obtained from Metropolitan Magistrate, Delhi, and further wireless message was flashed to intercept and trace the abducted person," reads the Punjab and Haryana High Court order.
