The Punjab police have arrested an NRI radio journalist and social media commentator Baltej Pannu in a rape case lodged by a social activist.
Baltej Pannu had been a vocal critic of the ruling SAD (Badal) and the Badal-BJP government in Punjab. He had recently posted on social media that he was allegedly threatened by a Badal govt. minister’s gunman for his critical views about the Badal government.
Media reports says that a Punjabi university employee Nancy Ghuman has accused Baltej Pannu of sexual exploiting her by making false promises of marriage.
According to media reports, Nancy had further alleged that Baltej Pannu had been threatening her to malign her image if she failed to do his bidding.
On the basis of the complaint, the police registered an FIR under sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and arrested Pannu after raiding his house.
Now today he was being taken before court for the hearing of this case. This is what Baltej Pannu had to say about his arrest and the case filed against him.
