Ropar, July 31: Leader of Opposition Sukhpal Khaira has alleged that a criminal case registered against AAP Ropar MLA Amarjit Singh Sandoa was politically motivated. He claimed that the haste shown by the police in registering the case against the AAP MLA without conducting preliminary inquiry proved that the action of the police was unfair.
Khaira arrived here in the evening to call upon party workers to start an agitation against the “high-handedness” of the police against the AAP MLA. While interacting with mediapersons, he said: “In case the police tried to implicate Sandoa, I will lead an agitation against the state government in Ropar”.
Meanwhile, Ropar SSP Raj Bachan Singh Sandhu said a three-member SIT would be formed by Monday to investigate the case.
Congress leader Brinder Singh Dhillon denied that the case against Sandoa was politically motivated. In a press release, he said there was no political interference in the working of the police in the state.
