Political tensions in Ludhiana, Punjab, escalated on Monday when two unidentified men threw ink at senior leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after the party concluded a protest against the Punjab Police and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government outside the Mini Secretariat. The incident targeted BJP leader Gurdev Sharma Debi and councillor Gurdeep Singh Neetu, who were unharmed. BJP officials expressed outrage over the incident, questioning how such a breach could happen despite significant police presence in the area. In response, police initiated an investigation to identify the attackers. The protest, which occurred a day after a confrontation between BJP and AAP workers, involved BJP leaders carrying chains and locks to symbolize their demand for the police commissioner to shut down his office, alleging that the police were acting under political pressure from the AAP. Tensions flared as BJP workers attempted to breach police barricades, leading to a standoff. BJP leaders warned that they would escalate their agitation if police actions did not change, highlighting the ongoing political confrontation in the state.
