Led by Prof Prem Singh Chandumajra and Dera Bassi MLA NK Sharma, SAD leaders today alleged that their Kharar councillors were being coerced by Punjab Chief Minister’s nephew Manpreet Manna and others to change sides. They alleged that ward no. 27 councillor Jasbir had been “kidnapped” and missing since last night. Many councillors had been forcibly taken for secret meetings with top Congress leaders for the past two-three days, they alleged.
