AAP leader foils abduction bid, shot at

TARN TARAN: AAP’s Patiala (rural) unit president Chetan Singh sustained bullet injuries while trying to save a girl from the clutches of kidnappers at Patti in Tarn Taran district on Thursday.


The party’s Majha zone in-charge Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal said although Chetan, 52, successfully foiled the kidnapping bid, he was injured and was admitted to a hospital in Patti, from where he was referred to Tarn Taran.



According to IGP Surinder Pal Singh Parmar, the girl had come from Harike to Patti to get her Aadhaar card and was returning home when six car borne youths tried to kidnap her. The AAP leader, who was in Patti to meet his relatives, happened to be at the spot and intervened to stop the youths from kidnapping her. The assailants fired at him and a bullet hit him near the neck, Parmar said.
