Former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Rajinder Kaur Bhattal’s son Rahulinder Singh Sidhu and grandson Sartajinder Singh Sidhu, along with several others, were detained on Saturday when they tried to meet Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann during an event at Lehragaga in Sangrur district.
A large number of Congress leaders and workers had gathered at Bhattal’s residence to hand over a seven-point memorandum related to the area to CM Mann. However, the police locked the main gate of the venue, triggering a protest. The Congress workers, wearing black ribbons, broke open the locks and came out in defiance, after which they were taken into custody.
