India Today
A platoon of the Punjab Police descended on the BJP leader's Delhi residence this morning in connection with a case registered against him by an Aam Aadmi Party leader, Sunny Singh Ahluwali, in Mohali last month.
Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga was picked up by the Punjab Police this morning in a dramatic sequence of events that continued till late afternoon. The arrest snowballed into a never-seen-before cat-and-mouse-chase over Bagga's custody between the police forces of Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi.
A platoon of the Punjab Police descended on the BJP leader's Delhi residence this morning in connection with a case registered against him by an Aam Aadmi Party leader, Sunny Singh Ahluwali, in Mohali last month. The AAP leader had alleged that Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga had made provocative statements, spread rumours, and tried to create religious and communal enmity, and that he allegedly threatened Arvind Kejriwal during a protest on March 30. Ahluwalia had also submitted statements and video clips of Bagga to the police.
Acting on this, the Punjab police barged into his Delhi home and placed him under arrest.
Soon after Bagga's arrest, videos surfaced online showing the police grabbing Bagga by his arms and taking him away. In the videos, he is seen walking with the Punjab Police without a turban on his head. "He couldn't even wear his turban," Delhi BJP spokesperson Naveen Kumar Jindal later said, claiming that around 50 cops had come in to arrest Bagga.
