SAD leader's daughter arrested for helping gangster escape sparks Punjab row
Kanchanpreet Kaur, daughter of SAD leader Sukhwinder Kaur Randhawa, was arrested for allegedly helping gangster Amritpal Singh Bath facilitate his escape from the country using a fake identity.
She was released from police custody after a late-night court hearing, but the case has set off big debates in Punjab about law enforcement and political interference.
Fake IDs, family drama, and political fallout
Authorities say Kaur used forged documents to help Bath escape.
While her lawyer insists Harpreet Singh (the fake name) and Amritpal are the same person, the Haryana board confirmed the papers were fake.
Kaur—who's also faced accusations of election misconduct—got public support from Bath's family despite earlier denying any marriage ties.
The arrest has become a flashpoint between parties: AAP is under fire for alleged police excesses during bypolls (with three officers suspended).
