Court acquits former minister Anmol Gagan

The Chandigarh Police had registered a case against the AAP leaders in August 2021 on a complaint of Assistant Sub-Inspector Mahabir Singh. The ASI alleged that Maan, Gill, Dr Ahluwalia and Arsh along with several members of the AAP Women Wing assembled oustide the BJP office at Sector 37 in Chandigarh on August 29 for the protest.

As they broke barricades, they hurt policemen who were admitted to Government Multi Specialty Hospital, Sector 16, Chandigarh.
