Punjab CM Mann slams Centre for AAP leader Sanjay Singh's arrest
Chandigarh (PTI): Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday slammed the BJP-led Centre for the arrest of senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh, alleging it has become the nature of the prime minister to "scare" opposition leaders through the Enforcement Directorate.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday morning raided AAP Rajya Sabha member Singh's home in connection with a money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy and later arrested him.
"Where public does not support, scaring through ED has become the nature of Modiji," Mann said in a post in Punjabi on X and added that they are not afraid.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has called Singh's arrest "completely illegal" and claimed that more opposition leaders will be arrested in the run-up to the 2024 parliamentary elections.
Kejriwal termed the ED raids on Singh's residence the "last desperate attempt" of a party that is staring at defeat in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Many such raids will take place but there is nothing to be scared of, the AAP national convenor said.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
