Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira claims 'Z plus security' given to Kejriwal by Punjab Govt
Chandigarh, Jul 27: Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira on Wednesday claimed that AAP supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had been given "Z plus security" by the Punjab government and demanded its withdrawal.
He questioned the need for the state to extend the security cover when Kejriwal had already been provided Z plus security by the Centre.
Khaira, who is All India Kissan Congress president, cited a purported list of protected persons but a Punjab Police spokesperson asserted that the document circulated in a section of the media was not an official one.
The spokesperson, however, remained silent on Kaira's charge.
Earlier, addressing the media here, Khaira claimed that Aam Aadmi Party chief Kejriwal has been given the Z plus security cover of the Punjab Police.
Khaira claimed that the Punjab Police commandos had been stationed at the Kapurthala House in Delhi, the official residence of the Punjab chief minister.
He demanded that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann withdraw the security provided to the AAP national convener by the state government.
Later, an official spokesman of the Punjab Police said that the document, cited by Khaira, is a part of a writ petition filed by the former deputy chief minister O P Soni in the Punjab and Haryana High court.
These attached documents are in no way official documents of Punjab Police, said the spokesperson.
The spokesperson said a perusal of the alleged list clearly showed that it is a typed document and there are no signatures, initials, official stamps or official authentication anywhere in the document.
It appears that this list has been typed by the petitioner and attached to the writ petition, said the spokesperson.
What a fraud committed by @ArvindKejriwal to show himself as Convenor Aap Punjab to secure Z Plus security personnel from Pb govt despite already having Z Plus cover from GOI as Cm Delhi.Below documents are from a writ petition in High Court. @BhagwantMann must explain dis fraud? pic.twitter.com/dWcb7VPvfv

KKR hammer DC by eight wickets as Allen smashes unbeaten ton
New Delhi (PTI): Finn Allen smashed a 47-ball 100 not out as Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed Delhi Capitals by eight wickets to register their fourth win on the trot in the IPL, here on Friday.
Opting to bowl, KKR spinners led by Sunil Narine strangled Delhi Capitals in the middle overs on a tacky surface to restrict them to 142/8.
Pathum Nissanka struck a quick 50 (29 balls; 5x4, 3x6) but Delhi lost momentum after his dismissal, scoring just 11 runs between the 12th and 16th overs as Anukul Roy (2/31), Kartik Tyagi (2/25) and Sunil Narine (1/17) applied the brakes.
Ashutosh Sharma’s late 28-ball 39 (3x4, 3x6), gave Delhi some respite.
In reply, Allen, who came in as Impact Sub for Varun Chakravarthy, smashed 10 sixes and five fours to make it a lopsided chase as KKR sealed the win in just 14.2 overs.
Brief Scores:
Delhi Capitals 142/8 in 20 overs (Pathum Nissanka 50, Ashutosh Sharma 39; Anukul Roy 2/31, Kartik Tyagi 2/25). Kolkata Knight Riders 147/2 in 14.2 overs (Finn Allen 100 not out).
