Mr. Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, who was arrested on the 6th of May, from his Delhi residence, and was released hours later, would be given police protection.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader expressed concerns about his security after the Punjab Police barged into his Delhi residence and arrested him.  Amid his fear, Mr. Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga approached the Delhi Police, which assured him of police protection.  The senior official of the Delhi police said, “We will do necessary security arrangements.”

On the 6th of May, the BJP  leader was arrested by the Punjab Police.  He was arrested from his Delhi residence, following which tension prevailed in the region, as it involved the police from three different states, Haryana, Punjab and Delhi.

According to sources, the arrest was made amid allegations of threatening the Delhi Chief Minister Mr. Arvind Kejriwal.  Notably, a team of Punjab Police reached Mr. Tajinder Singh Bagga’s residence and detained him. 

The BJP leaders condemned the arrest and said, the Arvind Kejriwal Government in Punjab is misusing its power and harassing the opposition leaders, by targeting them.  However, the Delhi Government denied such allegations and defended the arrest.  The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led Government said, the Punjab police were acting in an unbiased way and the action was taken after Mr Bagga refused to cooperate with the investigation even after notices were sent five times.   The BJP registered a complaint with the Delhi Police and accused the Punjab Police of kidnapping the BJP leader.  

The matter created political tension in Haryana, Punjab and Delhi.
