Sandeep Pathak Faces FIRs in Punjab After Ditching AAP for BJP
Two non-bailable FIRs filed against Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak in Punjab days after he joined the BJP, signaling possible arrest.
Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak, who recently switched from the Aam Aadmi Party to the Bharatiya Janata Party, is facing legal trouble in Punjab as two FIRs have been registered against him in non-bailable offences.
Punjab Police booked Pathak on Saturday, May 2, 2026, with little detail disclosed; he was among seven Rajya Sabha MPs who left the AAP to join the BJP recently.
The cases add a new twist to the defections from AAP to BJP and underscore ongoing political churn as the parties recalibrate ahead of upcoming political contests.
If charged under non-bailable sections, arrest could be a possibility, raising questions about Pathak's political future and BJP's efforts to consolidate support in Punjab.
