Bagga produced before Metropolitan Magistrate at midnight, released

Delhi News Live Updates: BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga has been released after being produced before a magistrate at midnight, his advocate Sanket Gupta said. “As per his MLC, he suffered an injury on his back and shoulder during the incident,” Gupta said.

Hours after being arrested by the Punjab Police, BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga had returned to Delhi on Friday evening. After Delhi Police took Bagga’s custody, Punjab cops approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court against the “detention” of its police team in Kurukshetra. Terming the intervention by Haryana Police ‘a violation of law’, Advocate General (AG) Anmol Rattan Sidhu claimed that everything was going as per procedure but the Haryana cops delayed the process. The Punjab government also requested the court to not let the Delhi Police cross the Haryana border with Bagga.

Following his arrest earlier in the day, Bagga was taken to a police station in Haryana after the Delhi Police accused the Punjab Police team of not following due procedure. A Haryana police officer told The Indian Express, “We have brought Bagga and the Punjab police team to the Thanesar police Station, Kurukshetra. We have questioned the Punjab policemen.” A team of Delhi Police has reached the police station, while Punjab ADGP Sharad Satya Chauhan is also expected to arrive in Kurukshetra.
