Ropar: A special investigation team (SIT) of the Ropar police has summoned former Ropar Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amarjeet Singh Sandoya for questioning regarding an alleged immoral trafficking case registered in February this year. Senior police officials clarified that Sandoya is not named as an accused in the FIR.Ropar SSP Maninder Singh said Sandoya was called solely for questioning and to verify certain inputs received during the ongoing investigation. The case dates back to February 17, when authorities allegedly busted an immoral trafficking racket operating out of a local hotel, leading to a registration of the case at the Anandpur Sahib police station.According to the notice issued by the Ropar DSP, Sandoya must appear at the DSP office at 11 am on June 22 to record his statement. The Ropar Sadar station house officer (SHO) was tasked with delivering the summons, while the Anandpur Sahib SHO was instructed to present the complete case file before the SIT on the same day.Sandoya, who stated that he left AAP years ago and has not joined any other political party, denied any involvement and described the summons as a well-planned political conspiracy to tarnish his public image. He stated that he had no connection to the hotel in Anandpur Sahib and had “never even seen” the property.Sandoya alleged that a current in-power party’s MLA from the district was pressuring the police to drag his name into the controversy as retaliation because he had been raising his voice against alleged corruption, blackmailing, and hooliganism in the Ropar district. However, Sandoya confirmed he would cooperate with the investigation and appear before the SIT as directed.MSID:: 131834476 413 |
