Kanchanpreet’s arrest a violation of high court orders : SAD
(Arshdeep S Kler thanks high court for interceding and putting on hold any police remand in the case)
Chandigarh 29 November ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) said the arrest of Kanchanpreet Kaur, the daughter of the party’s Tarn Taran candidate Sukhwinder Kaur Randhawa, was a violation of the orders of the high court and thanked the court for interceding and putting on hold any police remand in the case till the case is heard by the trial court late today evening. Addressing a press conference here, the SAD’s legal cell head Arshdeep Singh Kler said chief minister Bhagwant Mann, the State DGP and top police officers had challenged the high court after it had given interim bail to Kanchanpreet in four cases by adding non- bailable offences in another case registered against her. “It is clear that the AAP government has forced the police to arrest Kanchanpreet in an act of vengeance”, he added. Asserting that the AAP government was trying to create a false narrative against Kanchanpreet, the SAD legal cell head said “the fact of the matter is that no criminal case was registered against her before the elections”. He said the police officers who had registered the false cases against Kanchanpreet and had now arrested her without following due norms would be answerable for their patently illegal acts. Arshdeep Kler informed that he had filed a petition in the high court today during the course of which directions had been given to the trial court not to give any remand in the case till Kanchanpreet’s advocates reached the court. “Accordingly the trial court will decide whether the non-bailable offence added in the bailable FIR was correct or not”. Meanwhile the SAD said by targeting a young woman leader with fabricated charges the AAP government had shown that it had no respect for the daughters of Punjab or for the rule of law. Senior leader Dr Daljit Singh Cheema appealed to all democratic, social and women organisations to rise above political differences and condemn this heinous misuse of power. “This evil must be nipped in the bud. Such unconstitutional actions cannot be allowed to continue on the sacred land of our great Gurus”, he added.
