Chugh said three such cases have been registered so far by the Punjab police against BJP leaders in Delhi and Maharashtra. He claimed that the AAP government has started showing blatant signs of misusing the police force to settle political scores.

He condemned the manner in which a case was registered against Delhi-based BJP leader Naveen Kumar for allegedly doctoring a video clip of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal. The video clip was posted on April 6 with a disclaimer, but regardless of it, the Punjab Police have filed a case on the complaint of Gurbhej Singh, who works for the legal cell of AAP.

Chugh said the first indication of AAP’s political vendetta came around when the Punjab Police registered a case against a BJP activist in Maharashtra for tweeting about the removal of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s picture in the chief minister’s office. The complaint was lodged by an AAP Mohali district office-bearer in the cyber cell of the state police.

Similarly, the cyber cell of the Punjab Police recently booked BJP youth activist TP Singh Bagga, who had reportedly led the agitation against Kejriwal in the context of his comments on the film, “Kashmir Files”.
