Chandigarh: The video of a speech by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, levelling serious allegations against Rajya Sabha member and his partys senior leader Raghav Chadha, has snowballed into a major political controversy in Punjab, ahead of the Lok Sabha polls...

In the video, which is circulating on social media, Singh has alleged that at least two officers of the Punjab Police are involved in supporting the drug trade in Amritsar and these officers are Chadhas blue-eyed boys...

I know everything The same people are still there five commissioners have come and gone and I have talked to the DGPs (Director Generals of Police) as well that at least those people (policemen) who are selling drugs should be transferred out from Amritsar to Batala There is one SP (superintendent of police) and there is one DSP (deputy superintendent of police) who look after the civil lines area in Amritsar North and are the blue-eyed boys of Raghav Chadha, says Singh...

A thorough investigation should be conducted as the @AAP Punjab MLA from Amritsar North, Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, accused Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha of having a close association with those police officers who allegedly indulged in drug trading..

State of affairsyesterday, serious allegations were levelled against senior police officers of Amritsar, giving patronage to drug dealers by sitting AAP MLA @Kvijaypratap & in turn the officers had the protection of a sitting Rajya Sabha MP, but strangely, no statement on this..
