He explained that the MLA was taken into police custody this morning in connection with a complaint filed by a woman. The woman has alleged that she was in a relationship with Pathanmajra since 2021, and that they even got married at a gurdwara. Pannu said that when Pathanmajra contested the 2022 Assembly elections, he himself disclosed his marital status.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>According to the complaint, the woman has alleged that Pathanmajra attempted to re-establish relations with her in recent times. When she threatened to approach the police, she claimed that she was intimidated with the threat of her private photos and videos being leaked. On this basis, the police registered a case under multiple sections, including charges of rape.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pannu stated that when Pathanmajra sensed the possibility of police action, he tried reaching out to senior party leaders. However, AAP has always maintained a zero-tolerance policy on such matters. \u201cAs Arvind Kejriwal has always stressed, character is one of the three pillars of the \u2018triple C\u2019 &#8211; and in cases like this, the party never intervenes to shield anyone, regardless of their position,\u201d Pannu said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>He added that Pathanmajra, realizing that legal proceedings might move against him, attempted over the past few days to divert attention by raising unrelated issues. Videos circulated in recent days also suggest that his close associates were aware of the impending police action.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>This morning, Punjab Police located Pathanmajra in Haryana and took him into custody. However, as per available information, he has since escaped from custody. The police will share further updates on the matter.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Baltej Pannu said that AAP stands firm on its principle: the law will take its own course. \u201cIt is important for us, as a party, to be transparent with the public. No one in AAP will be shielded or protected in such cases,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allegations Against Pathanmajra are Personal, He Tried To Divert Attention With Baseless Statements Against Party: Baltej Pannu Punjab News: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab leader Baltej Pannu today addressed the media to clarify the facts surrounding the developments related to MLA Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra from Sanour constituency.
