SC Commission Summons DSP Over Unarrested Punjab Congress Chief Raja Warring
A special commission in Punjab is upset because a politician, Raja Warring, hasn't been arrested yet.
He's accused of saying mean things about a specific community and the skin color of a former minister, Buta Singh.
The commission saw videos of Raja Warring at parties and events, and they told the police officer in charge, the DSP, "Why haven't you arrested him?
He's not hiding!"
The police officer explained that they are still looking at the video evidence to be sure.
The commission said this is taking too long and wants him arrested very soon.
This is all happening because Buta Singh's family complained about what Raja Warring said.
Punjab State Commission for Scheduled Castes (PSSCC) ordered the arrest of Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring.
The order stems from alleged casteist remarks made by Warring about late Union minister Buta Singh.
PSSCC summoned Kapurthala DSP Hargurdev Singh, questioning the delay in Warring's arrest despite his public appearances.
An FIR was registered on November 4, and video evidence is undergoing forensic examination.
The commission has set a November 20 deadline for action and demanded weekly progress reports.
