The Punjab Police on Friday arrested BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga based on a complaint registered with its cyber cell.

It is reported that the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) national secretary was booked after AAP leader Sunny Singh filed a complaint against him alleging that Tejinder Pal Singh Bagga had made provocative statements, spread rumours, and tried to create religious and communal enmity.

The reports further said that Bagga allegedly threatened Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal during a protest on March 30. The complainant also submitted statements and video clips of Bagga to the police.

Meanwhile, the BJP condemned the arrest and said that it is “extremely” shameful that CM Kejriwal has started abusing his power in Punjab.

“It is extremely shameful that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has started abusing his party’s political power in Punjab to intimidate political opponents. Every citizen of Delhi stands with the family of Tejendra Pal Singh Bagga in this hour of crisis,” said spokesperson of Delhi BJP, Praveen Shankar Kapoor.

BJP leader Kapil Mishra said, “Tajinder Bagga was arrested and taken away by 50 Punjab Police personnel from his house. A true chieftain, he cannot be intimidated or weakened by such antics. Why so much fear of a true Sardar?”
