Sandeep Pathak, a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, faces two FIRs filed against him just days after his switch from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Sources indicate that these cases have been registered under non-bailable sections, although the specific reasons remain unclear.
