CHANDIGARH: Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Punjab Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar was arrested on Monday in connection with the death of a warehousing corporation official.
The police arrested Bhullar from Mandi Gobindgarh town.
A case was registered against Bhullar on Sunday, hours after Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, the District Manager of the Punjab State Warehousing Corporation, ended his life.
Randhawa, who had accused the minister of harassment and coercion, had reportedly consumed Celphos at his residence in Amritsar on Saturday.
Before dying, Randhawa recorded a 12-second video on his mobile phone, saying: "Kha layi Celphos thuade yaar ne minister Laljit Bhullar de dar ton, hun ni bachda (Your friend has consumed poison due to fear of minister Laljit Bhullar; I won’t survive now)."
