Event Summary

Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra, an India — Aam Aadmi Party MLA from Sanour, India — Punjab, India, has reportedly fled to Australia after being accused of rape, cheating, and criminal intimidation. He has been on the run since September 2, with the India — Patiala police issuing a look-out notice and initiating proclaimed offender proceedings against him. Pathanmajra appeared in a video interview from Australia, denying all allegations and calling the case a 'political conspiracy' aimed at silencing voices for Punjab's people. He also accused the India — Aam Aadmi Party's Delhi leadership of interfering in Punjab affairs. The MLA had previously escaped police custody in India — Karnal, Haryana, amidst claims of firing and stone-pelting by his supporters, which he denied, stating he feared a 'fake encounter'. The case was registered based on a Zirakpur-based woman's complaint, alleging that Pathanmajra misrepresented himself as divorced, entered a relationship, and married her in 2021 while already married, continuing sexual exploitation and threats.
