Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga is charged with making inflammatory statements to flare up communal enmity.
The Punjab police on Friday arrested BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga from his residence in Delhi in connection with making allegedly inflammatory statements to flare up communal enmity.
The police in a statement said that an FIR was registered against Mr. Bagga on April 1, 2022 under Sections 153 A, 505, 505(2), 506 of the Indian Penal Code at the Punjab State Cyber Crime wing at Mohali in S.A.S Nagar district.
He has been accused of causing instigation-incitement-criminal intimidation to cause violence, use of force, and imminent hurt in a predesigned and orchestrated manner by making-publishing provocative, false and communal inflammatory statements through his interview given to the media and through his posts on Twitter, said the statement.
The police said the 36-year-old Bagga was served five notices under Section 41 A of the Cr.PC to come and join the investigation, but despite the notices, the accused deliberately did not join the investigation, added the statement.
“Today morning following due process of law, the accused has been arrested from his home in Janakpuri, New Delhi. He is being brought here and will be produced in court. Further investigation is on,” said the statement.
The BJP leaders criticised the police action. BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh flayed the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi and Punjab for their “Hitler-like action of arresting BJP’s Delhi spokesperson Tajinder Bagga”.
“It is a criminal act of Kejriwal to which Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is playing a meek second fiddle”, Mr. Chugh said.
