1. Punjab Police said that it was not a case of kidnapping. They had a registered complaint against Bagga, so he was arrested.
2. According to media reports, the Punjab Police had written a letter to the Haryana Director-General of Police informing them of the crime and have also presented a copy of it.
3. The Punjab Police had arrested Bagga from his house at around 5 a.m. About 50 Policemen were present at the time. He was arrested for allegedly making offensive remarks against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The incident happened in Delhi while the complaint was filed in Mohali, Punjab. Earlier, on 2nd April, Punjab Police had come to arrest Bagga, but the Police could not show Bagga the documents and arrest warrant. Hence, Bagga opposed his arrest and the Police withdrew.
4. While Bagga’s father was protesting against his arrest, he was allegedly beaten up by Punjab Police. Bagga is a Sikh but was not allowed to wear a turban and was taken in the same condition. Bagga’s family had complained to the Janakpuri Police station and alleged that it was a kidnapping.

What is the matter ?
While speaking in the Delhi Assembly on the film The Kashmir Files, CM Arvind Kejriwal had said that the genocide of Hindus in Kashmir was false. On 30th March 2022, BJP workers staged an agitation in front of Chief Minister Kejriwal’s residence. Bagga said Sonia Gandhi had denied the existence of Shriram. Today, her party is in crisis. Therefore, I want to tell Kejriwal that Hindus in the country will show you your place. Kejriwal should apologise, otherwise, our workers will not let him live in peace. Our agitation will continue. A case was filed against Bagga for this.
