Punjab: AAP MLA Rajinder Pal Kaur Chhina accused of slapping tipper truck driver
CHANDIGARH: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA from Ludhiana South Rajinder Pal Kaur Chhina allegedly slapped a tipper truck driver in her constituency. A video of the incident, which took place on Monday, went viral on social media, prompting opposition parties to accuse the ruling party of high-handedness.
The video showed a tipper truck entering Daba-Lohara Road, followed by the MLA’s vehicle. Chhina, accompanied by her gunman and two to three others, intercepted the driver after he allegedly took some time to give way to her vehicle.
The truck was allegedly stopped and Chhina got out of her vehicle. She approached the truck, asked the driver to get down and opened the driver’s-side door. The driver then stepped out. A heated argument followed, after which Chhina was allegedly seen slapping him. She was also seen making some phone calls.
