High Court Dismisses Harbhajan Singh's Plea Against Security Cover Withdrawal
The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh's plea challenging the withdrawal of his security cover by the Punjab government. The court noted that protests and posters branding him a "traitor" after his exit from the Aam Aadmi Party did not establish a direct threat to his life. It observed that the Security Review Committee had decided to withdraw the cover months earlier and that Singh has since been provided 'Y' category security by the CRPF. The Punjab government also assured local security arrangements during his visits.
