15 Cong men booked after clash with AAP workers
The Kotbhai police have booked 15 Congress workers for allegedly clashing with some AAP workers at Khirkianwala village here on Saturday.
The complainant, Ravi, alleged that AAP workers were taking out a procession to celebrate the victory of the party’s Gidderbaha bypoll candidate, Hardeep Singh Dimpy Dhillon, in their village when Khushwinder Singh and his brother Rupinder Singh started abusing them.
“Rupinder even made casteist remarks. Khushwinder had already called 20-25 persons to his residence. They all clashed with us,” he alleged.
A case has been registered against Khushwinder, Rupinder, Sarbjit Singh, Amarbir Singh, Himmat Singh, Jaswinder Singh, Jaspreet Singh, Satnam Singh, Harjinder Singh, Babbu Singh, Sukhchain Singh, Avtar Singh, Jagsir Singh, Gurpreet Singh, Jagsir Singh and 10 unidentified men. Alleging political vendetta, Congress workers alleged that the case was registered on the instructions of the AAP leadership.
