Sandeep Pathak, a Rajya Sabha member from Punjab, has filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court requesting the state government to reveal details of two FIRs allegedly registered against him. Pathak, who recently transitioned from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), claims that he has been unable to obtain information about the FIRs despite his efforts. He is seeking specific details, including FIR numbers, registration dates, and the police stations involved. Pathak argues that the Punjab Police's failure to disclose this information is a violation of legal mandates and suggests a deliberate attempt at political retribution against him. His petition also seeks to prevent any coercive actions, such as arrest, while the case is pending. This legal move comes after a significant shift in the political landscape, where seven Rajya Sabha MPs left AAP, citing a departure from the party's foundational principles.
