Chandigarh, July 9, 2025: Leader of Opposition in Punjab Vidhan Sabha, MLA Partap Singh Bajwa, has lodged a formal complaint with Chandigarh Police against former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, Finance Minister Harpal Cheema, Cabinet Minister Aman Arora, and their associates.
Bajwa has accused them of fabricating and circulating doctored videos intended to malign his political image.
In his written complaint to the SHO, Sector 3 Police Station, Bajwa alleges that a video originally posted by him on June 25, 2025, criticizing the Punjab Vigilance Bureau’s alleged misconduct against woman MLA Ganieve Kaur and former MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira, was edited to remove references to Kaur.
The altered version allegedly made it appear as though Bajwa was supporting Bikram Singh Majithia, who is presently in police custody.
Bajwa said the doctored video was widely shared by AAP leaders from their official social media handles to mislead the public and damage his and the Congress party's reputation.
He claimed the intent was to divert attention from the "unlawful actions" of Punjab Vigilance Bureau officials, including alleged misconduct involving entry into a woman legislator’s private space.
In this complaint, he attached a pen drive containing both the original and allegedly edited videos. Bajwa urged the police to register an FIR under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and the Information Technology Act, and to initiate an immediate investigation into what he calls a "politically motivated attempt to tarnish" his public image.
