As per the information, Sekhon was at Sidhu’s office, when Danav reached the spot and accused him of using his influence to deliberately remove names of eligible contractual employees from the list of employees who have been regularised. Sekhon refuted the allegations, stating that a committee appointed by the MC House had finalised the lists and he had no role in it.

It was learnt that a heated argument was witnessed between the two after Danav allegedly used foul language and made derogatory remarks against Sekhon and his family members. The MLA’s staff and employees pacified them.
