The Payal police claimed to have arrested Raman Chandi, a state spokesperson for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), after a man accused him of trying to encroach on his land.
As per information, Raman Chandi and the complainant, Harchand Singh Cheema, have been indulged in a long-standing dispute over the same piece of land.
Sources said on May 11, Chandi reached the disputed site along with his wife and son. He also went live on his Facebook page from there and appealed directly to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for help. In the video, he complained that he was not getting justice and alleged that some “black sheep” in the party were working with the administration against him.
