Delhi Police to provide security to Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga

New Delhi, May 7

In the wake of BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga expressing fear about his safety, Delhi Police on Saturday said it would make necessary security arrangements for him.

On Friday, Punjab Police arrested Bagga from his residence in Delhi’s Janakpuri, but the city police here brought him back to the capital from Haryana, saying its Punjab counterpart did not inform it about the arrest.

“Bagga expressed apprehension over his safety and security. We will do necessary security arrangements,” a senior officer said.

Delhi Police had on Friday registered a case of kidnapping based on a complaint by Bagga’s father Pritpal Singh Bagga that “some people” came over to his house at around 8 am and took away his son.

Bagga, also the national secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, was held in connection with a case registered against him in Mohali last month. He was produced before a magistrate late on Friday, according to Delhi Police officials.

Pritpal Bagga told PTI that his son, accompanied by his friends and supporters, returned home at around 1 am.
