Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra, an AAP MLA, has been apprehended by Patiala Police in Punjab. He was wanted for rape, cheating, and criminal intimidation charges since September last year, based on a woman's complaint from Zirakpur.
The complaint alleges Pathanmajra, posing as a divorcee, started a relationship and later married the victim in 2021, despite being already married. His arrest comes after a nearly year-long pursuit during which he was declared a proclaimed offender.
Pathanmajra evaded arrest following a dramatic escape last year when police attempted to detain him in Haryana. Allegations of gunfire and obstruction by his supporters were reported during the arrest attempt. He denies claims of violence, stating his escape was prompted by fears of a possible 'fake encounter'.
