Bajwa alleged that AAP MLA from Tarn Taran Kashmir Singh Sohal had threatened Tarn Taran Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ranjit Singh Sohal of strict action if he failed to cancel a case registered against his close associate Harpreet Singh and 13 others for illegally chopping off eucalyptus trees without procuring mandatory permission from the state forest department.

“It is really a worrying trend how AAP MLAs everyday are courting one or the other controversy, threaten senior Punjab officials with impunity and chief minister Bhagwant Mann does not speak even a single word on it to control his intemperate legislators,” he said in a statement, recalling other instances involving the ruling party legislators.
