Punjab politics has taken a new turn after a Rajya Sabha member, who left the Aam Aadmi Party and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, BJP Leader moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court. He filed a petition seeking details of alleged FIRs registered against him by the Punjab government.
Moreover, the case has triggered fresh political debate across the state.
Petition Seeks FIR Details from Punjab Police
In his petition, Sandeep Pathak claimed that he learned through media reports and unofficial sources that Punjab Police had registered two cases against him in different districts.
However, despite multiple attempts, he said the police did not provide any official information regarding these FIRs. Therefore, he approached the High Court for transparency and clarity.
BJP Leader Demand for Protection and Transparency
Sandeep Pathak has requested the court to restrain the Punjab government from taking any coercive action, including arrest, until the case is decided.
In addition, he urged the court to direct Punjab Police to disclose complete details of the FIRs, including FIR numbers, dates, concerned police stations, and districts.
Allegation of Missing FIR Information Online
The petitioner also alleged that FIR-related details have not been uploaded on the official Punjab Police website. He argued that such disclosure is mandatory under the rules.
Furthermore, he asked the Punjab government to file a detailed affidavit explaining what cases were registered against him after joining the BJP.
Political Reactions Intensify in Punjab
Following the petition, political discussions have intensified in Punjab. Opposition parties have called the action political vendetta.
However, the Aam Aadmi Party has not issued any official response so far. Meanwhile, the issue continues to gain attention in political circles.
