Sandeep Pathak, a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, has been booked by Punjab Police under non-bailable sections. This legal action comes shortly after his defection from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Pathak was one of seven AAP MPs who resigned on April 24, alleging that the party, led by Arvind Kejriwal, had deviated from its foundational principles and morals. The mass resignation significantly impacted AAP, reducing its strength in the Upper House to just three members. The details surrounding the FIRs against Pathak remain undisclosed, raising questions about the circumstances leading to this legal development.
