A case has been registered against former Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas in Punjab for his remarks against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Sources have informed that Punjab Police has registered a case against Kumar Vishwas. Today i.e. on Wednesday morning, Kumar had reached Vishwas's house.
During the assembly elections in Punjab, he had given statements about Kejriwal and accused him of having links with Khalistani organizations.
On Wednesday, the Punjab Police reached Vishwas's residence, accompanied by Inspector Sumit More, and issued a notice to Vishwas to join the investigation.
Punjab Police has registered a case against Kumar Vishwas on several charges. It is alleged that Kumar Vishwas said in an interview during the elections that Kejriwal wants to become the Prime Minister of independent Khalistan.
An FIR has been registered against the former leader at Sadar Police Station in the Ropar district of Punjab.
It is known that a case has been registered against Vishwas under sections 153,505,323,341,506,120B of the IPC.
On the arrival of the police, Kumar Vishwas wrote a tweet saying that 'Punjab Police has arrived at the door early in the morning.
At one time, I am warning Bhagwant Mann, who has been included in the party by me, that the man sitting in Delhi, whom you are allowing to play with the power given by the people of Punjab, will one day cheat you and Punjab also. The country remembers my warning.
Opposition parties protested
The opposition has opposed this, accusing the Aam Aadmi Party of "misusing police force to take political revenge".
Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira tweeted 'I strongly condemn the political vendetta being taken against Kumar Vishwas for making a statement against Kejriwal during the elections. What is the difference between the Aam Aadmi Party and the traditional parties?
I urge Bhagwant Mann not to allow Punjab Police to be used to settle political scores.
Police have registered a case against two more people in a similar case.
On April 1, Mohali police registered a case against BJP leader Tejinder Singh Bagga based on a complaint by the Aam Aadmi Party, while a case was also registered against Delhi BJP spokesperson Naveen Jindal.
