A fresh political controversy has emerged in Punjab after AAP Punjab media in-charge Baltej Pannu alleging serious charges in an Akali Dal leader POCSO case involving a leader linked to the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal faction). The allegations have sparked strong political reactions across the state.
According to the post shared by AAP Punjab, JasKaranjeet Singh, who is associated with the Dakha constituency, has been arrested in connection with an Akali Dal leader POCSO case. The post claims the arrest was made under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act following serious allegations related to a minor.

AAP Punjab further alleged that before the arrest, there were attempts to influence officials and prevent action in the Akali Dal leader POCSO case. These claims, however, are part of political statements made on social media and have not been independently verified in this report.
The post also contains allegations that the accused may have misused political access and connections, making the Akali Dal leader POCSO case a highly sensitive political issue. It further claims involvement of individuals linked to senior leadership in past meetings, though no official confirmation has been provided regarding such assertions.
