Simatjit Singh Bains
LUDHIANA: Even though Lok Insaf Party (LIP) MLA Simarjit Singh Bains has failed to get any relief from the Punjab & Haryana high court in the rape case registered against him, the Ludhiana top cop has said that the police would arrest Bains after collecting sufficient evidence against him. On the other hand, advocate Harish Rai Dhanda, who has taken up the case in the court on behalf of the complainant, claimed that they have submitted all evidence, but the police are deliberately delaying the action.
Police commissioner Rakesh Agarwal said the police are investigating the case, though an FIR has been lodged on the orders of the court.
