Raj Kumar, the son of Sadhu Ram, a Congress candidate contesting in ward number 17 in Dhuri, was arrested for allegedly submitting forged documents to secure bail for certain individuals. Dhuri's Deputy Superintendent of Police, Gurpreet Singh, confirmed the arrest, stating that an FIR was registered against Raj Kumar in 2025, charging him with fraud, forgery, and criminal conspiracy. Sadhu Ram, claiming his son was wrongfully detained, staged a protest outside the Dhuri sadar police station, alleging that the police action was a politically motivated attempt to disrupt his campaign ahead of the civic polls. He was joined by former MLA Dalvir Goldy during the protest. In response, AAP leader Dalvir Dhillon dismissed the allegations of political vendetta, suggesting that Sadhu Ram's claims stem from desperation as the elections approach. The incident highlights the contentious atmosphere surrounding the upcoming civic elections in Punjab, with accusations of political manipulation and attempts to undermine candidates' campaigns.
