Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira was arrested in Punjab in connection with a 2015 drug case. Khaira claims the case is false and that he is being targeted for opposing the government. The case involves a heroin smuggling racket and allegations that Khaira supported the smugglers and received financial benefits. The arrest was live-streamed on Khaira’s Facebook account. The Aam Aadmi Party defended the arrest, stating it was based on evidence, while the Punjab Congress accused the AAP government of political vendetta.
