BJP Shares CCTV Footage Claim, Alleges Fake Report Deal
The BJP shared a viral video said to be from a hotel in Gurugram and alleged that a fake forensic report was prepared after the Sri Akal Takht Sahib order issued on June 15.
“After the order issued by Sri Akal Takht Sahib on June 15, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, in connivance with Ludhiana Police Commissioner Swapan Sharma and SP Jasdeep, got a fake forensic report prepared,” the BJP said.
In its X post, the BJP alleged: “On June 16, Swapan Sharma and Jasdeep reached Gurugram and met with the owners of a forensic lab at the Crown Plaza Hotel. They finalized the deal by giving the Aam Aadmi Party’s black money to the lab owners. But the truth never remains hidden. The entire meeting was captured on Crown Plaza’s CCTV footage. Gurugram police have registered an FIR and arrested both lab owners.”
The party further said, “First, the sacred image of the Sikhs was insulted, then the Akal Takht order was challenged by creating a fake report. No matter how much one tries to suppress the truth, it always comes out. Now, one by one, Bhagwant Mann’s dark deeds and the anti-Sikh face of the Aam Aadmi Party are being exposed.”
