Sukhbir Badal offers himself for arrest amid SAD workers’ protest outside Punjab Police HQ

During the interaction with DGP Yadav, Badal reportedly demanded that the police immediately stop targeting unrelated individuals, an FIR be registered directly against him if any wrongdoing is alleged, and offered himself for arrest and investigation. He further stated that he would not leave the office until such an FIR was lodged.

Following the meeting, SAD workers initiated a sit-in protest outside the Punjab Police Headquarters, escalating the demonstration. Badal positioned the move as a challenge to what he called the misuse of police machinery for political purposes.

This development occurs against the backdrop of heightened political tensions in Punjab, including the recent release of Bikram Singh Majithia from jail and ongoing criticisms of law and order under the AAP government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
