Singla said, “False cases have been registered against SAD workers who were on polling duty in various areas of the city. In Lal Singh Basti, Chamkaur Singh Mann and other SAD workers have wrongly been framed. I have urged the SSP to withdraw all false cases registered against SAD workers in the city.”
