Patiala, November 23

Activists of the Youth Akali Dal (YAD) today held a protest in Patiala demanding registration of an FIR against Ludhiana MLA Simarjit Singh Bains over allegations of rape levelled against him by a resident of the same city. The activists burnt an effigy of the MLA at Khanda Chowk.

Amit Singh Rathi, member, YAD, said the government should register an FIR against the MLA. No FIR had been registered against Bains yet as Congress leaders were supporting him, protesters claimed.

“We will continue protesting against the state government until an FIR is registered against Bains,” Rathi added.
