Political Storm: FIRs Against Sandeep Pathak Spark Accusations of Vendetta

The cases were filed under non-bailable sections over alleged harassment of women and corruption after his switch from Aam Aadmi Party to Bharatiya Janata Party.

  • On Saturday, Punjab Police registered two non-bailable FIRs against Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak, who departed his New Delhi residence shortly before officers arrived.
  • Pathak recently joined the Bharatiya Janata Party alongside six other Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MPs, a move reducing the AAP's strength in the Upper House.
  • The FIRs involve corruption and harassment charges; Pathak denied awareness, asserting he served the country with "honesty and integrity" throughout his career.
  • Alleging "political vendetta," Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party Working President Ashwani Sharma and Shiromani Akali Dal leaders condemned the state government for using police as a "political weapon."
  • Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann plans to meet President Droupadi Murmu on May 5 to demand a "recall" of the MPs who joined the BJP.
