Karnal: An FIR has been registered in Haryana against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra from Sanaur constituency after he escaped from the Punjab Police. His social media account, where he had been releasing videos, has also been shut down.
The Punjab Police’s Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF), led by DSP Bikramjit Singh Brar, has now been deployed to arrest the MLA. The action comes nearly 24 hours after he fled police custody in Dabri village of Karnal district, Haryana.
Police sources said that the Punjab CIA Police filed a complaint at Sadar police station in Karnal against Pathanmajra and Gurnam Singh Ladi for obstructing government work, firing at the police party and pelting stones.
According to the complaint, the MLA was arrested following a raid at Ladi’s residence in Dabri village around 5 am the previous day. However, when the police attempted to take them to Patiala, the duo managed to escape with the help of villagers. Gunshots were heard during the incident, but the police refrained from using retaliatory force.
