Two cops from Bihar have been sitting outside Congress MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu's residence in Punjab's Amritsar since June 18. For four days, they have been waiting for the former Punjab minister to sign a piece of paper so they can go back to their home state.
The wait does not seem to end.
Two Bihar cops outside Sidhu's' resident in Amritsar
On Monday, when the two Bihar Policemen - one decked in full
uniform and the other in plain clothes - were asked about the purpose of their
stay, they said they have to get his signature on a bail bond paper in a case
that was registered against him for his remarks at a poll rally in Katihar in
2019.
The cricketer-turned-politician is, however, not ready to meet
the police personnel.
"We have been sitting
outside MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu`s residence since June 18 to get his signature
on a bail bond paper in a case that was registered against him for his remarks
at a poll rally in Katihar in 2019. He is not ready to meet us," said
Bihar Police Sub-Inspector Janardan Ram in Amritsar.
Congress MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu was booked for violation of the
code of conduct for making objectionable remarks against a community while
addressing an election meeting in Katihar district of Bihar in the 2019 Lok Sabha
elections.
Since June 18, two
sub-inspectors of Bihar Police are coming to Navjot Singh Sidhu's residence to
involve him in the investigation, in that case, waiting 4-5 hours daily outside
his house. Bihar Police Sub Inspector Janardhan says that if there was a common
man, he would have come to the police station himself but Navjot Sidhu is a
former minister, so they themselves have come but Sidhu is not meeting them
despite being in the house.
"Though everyday people
are coming to meet him and Sidhu is also meeting people, but he is not signing
on our papers," said Janardhan.
The cop said he has
apprised his higher officials about the situation and he will remain stationed
till further orders.
