Chargesheet against former SAD MLA Jasjit Singh Bunny for displaying pistol in Chandigarh
The Chandigarh Police have filed a chargesheet against Jasjit Singh Bunny, a former MLA of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and son of former Punjab cabinet minister Captain Kanwaljeet Singh. Bunny was accused of brandishing a revolver in the Sector 8 market here last year.
On July 31, 2024, around 11 pm, the police received information through the control room that a person was roaming in the Sector 8 market with a pistol. Officers reached the spot and found Bunny near the community centre, possessing the revolver. The police took the revolver from him, which was found to be empty. Bunny failed to produce a license for the arm, leading to his arrest.
The police registered a case against Bunny under Sections 25, 54, and 59 of the Indian Arms Act, 1959. He was granted bail by the court a few days later.
In November 2016, an FIR was filed against Bunny for allegedly assaulting a Punjab police ASI. However, he was acquitted in 2024.
