The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday alleged that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was detained for three hours at Delhi airport after returning from Paris and subsequently fined Rs 50,000, with officials purportedly citing “tremendous pressure from above”. The party did not specify the reason for the alleged detention or the fine.
Baltej Pannu, Punjab AAP's media in-charge, accused the Centre of deliberately obstructing Mann's efforts to attract investment to Punjab, alleging that the incident reflected the government's repeated denial of permission for the chief minister's overseas visits.
