Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra, an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA from the Sanour constituency in Patiala, Punjab, has been embroiled in significant controversy as of September 2, 2025. Here are the latest developments based on available information:Arrest and Escape from Custody: Pathanmajra was arrested on September 2, 2025, in Karnal, Haryana, in connection with a rape case filed against him. The case stems from a complaint by a Zirakpur-based woman who alleged that Pathanmajra misrepresented himself as divorced, entered into a relationship with her, and continued sexual exploitation while concealing his existing marriage. The FIR includes charges of rape, cheating, and criminal intimidation. However, while being transported to a local police station, Pathanmajra allegedly escaped custody. Reports indicate that he and his aides fired at police officers, injuring one, and he drove a vehicle over another officer before fleeing in a Scorpio SUV. A Fortuner used during the escape was seized, and Punjab Police have launched a manhunt to apprehend him
Political Controversy and Criticism of AAP Leadership: Prior to his arrest, Pathanmajra publicly criticized the AAP leadership, particularly the Delhi-based team, accusing them of “illegitimately ruling over Punjab” and sidelining Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. In a viral Facebook video, he claimed his security cover of 12 personnel was withdrawn, and all Station House Officers (SHOs) and police post heads in his constituency were transferred, allegedly as retaliation for his outspokenness against the party and the state government’s handling of flood issues in his constituency. He specifically targeted senior IAS officer Krishan Kumar, accusing him of neglecting desilting efforts for the Tangri River, which led to flooding in Sanour. Pathanmajra’s lawyer, Advocate Simranjeet Singh Saggu, has called the rape charges politically motivated, noting that the matter was already under investigation following a Punjab and Haryana High Court order.
Background and Context: Pathanmajra has been the MLA for Sanour since winning the 2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly election, defeating Shiromani Akali Dal’s Harinder Pal Singh Chandumajra by a margin of 49,122 votes. His recent actions, including his rebellion against AAP’s central leadership and the subsequent legal troubles, have sparked a major political controversy in Punjab, with potential implications for the AAP government as the 2027 Assembly elections approach.
Current Status: As of the latest reports, Pathanmajra remains at large, with Punjab Police actively pursuing him. His escape and the serious allegations against him have intensified scrutiny on AAP’s internal dynamics and governance in Punjab
