Punjab Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra escaped from police custody on Tuesday after allegedly opening fire on cops. Patganmajra was arrested on rape charges today in an old case involving his ex-wife. Police are chasing him.
According to the Punjab Police, Pathanmajra was being taken to a local police station after his arrest when he fled. He and his accomplices had allegedly fired at the police while fleeing, and had even run over one personnel, which resulted in one cop getting injured, news agency ANI reported.
On the arrest of the AAP MLA, his lawyer, Advocate Simranjeet Singh Saggu, said: “An FIR has been registered against Harmeet Singh…A matter was pending before the High Court. The HC disposed it off and marked DIG Ropar Range for inquiry. But this FIR is the ouctcome of the change in political scenario in past two days due to floods. This is against law, against facts and a totally a tug of war between the political people and the bureaucracy.”
“Section for rape and section 420 have been invoked. The complainant had filed the application before SSP Mohali and filed a writ before the High Court. All those allegations were submitted before the High Court by SSP Mohali by way of status report,” he added.
The incident took place a day after the AAP MLA claimed that his security cover of 12 personnel was withdrawn, and the station house officers in his constituency were replaced after he slammed the party’s central leadership for the flood crisis and demanded the removal of the officer.
