The Congress leader alleged: “His presence at the hotel has direct bearing on the matter. The truth must be revealed since attempts have been made to be malign my image ahead of the bypoll. The official concerned should be replaced immediately.
”Naunihal Singh, IG, Jalandhar Range, said: “I have received information of such news circulating, but so far we haven’t received any official confirmation or complaint.” Bajwa told
“My staying at the hotel has nothing to do with the FIR, which was lodged on a public complaint. I have only mentioned that action against the said person shall be initiated if the complaints are found true.”
