Ferozepur, October 17
Former Congress MLA and DCC president Kulbir Singh Zira was arrested by the police from his residence in Zira around 4 am on Tuesday.
Zira, who is the Congress’ district unit chief, was arrested following a complaint by a block development panchayat officer, accusing the leader and his supporters of obstructing him and other staff from performing their duties during a protest a few days ago.
Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring slammed the AAP government for the arrest of Zira.
In a post on X, Warring said the case was registered against Zira for holding a protest against the government officials for not allegedly performing their duties.
