New Delhi: BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga arrested by Punjab police on Friday morning from his residence in Delhi for his derogative tweets against AAP Chief and Delhi Chief Minister Aravind Kejriwal.

Punjab police was abducted by Haryana police and detained Punjab police, later they handed over Tajinder Pal Singh to Delhi police. Delhi police registered a kidnap case against the Punjab police on the complaint of Tajinder Pal Singh’s father.  Punjab police arrested Bagga at 5 am from his residence at Delhi for his provocative statements, promoting religious enmity and criminal intimidation over his tweets against AAP Chief and Delhi Chief Minister Aravind Kejriwal.

The Haryana police surrounded the Punjab police car carrying Bagga and escorted them off the highway to a police station in Kurukshetra. The Punjab cops were detained. At the same time, the Punjab and Haryana High Court turned down AAP-ruled Punjab’s demand that Bagga remain in Haryana instead of being handed over to Delhi cops.  Haryana police acted apparently on a request from the Delhi Police, which rushed to a Court for a search warrant based on the kidnapping complaint.

Search warrant in hand, a team of Delhi police reached Kurukshetra and rescued Bagga, who flashed a victory sign as he changed cars. The Delhi police brought Bagga back to Delhi. Delhi police, who reports to the Centre, claimed they were not informed in advance about the arrest. Punjab police have refuted the charge, saying one of their teams has been at a police station in Delhi since last evening.

Bagga has been very vocal against Aravind Kejriwal on social media. He came under fire from the AAP, which rules both Delhi and Punjab, for his tweet against Kejriwal over The Kashmir Files movie.
