Punjab Police arrest BJP leader Tajinder Bagga from his Delhi home

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

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. 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.

The BJP condemned the arrest. "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.
