HC quashes FIRs registered against Kumar Vishwas, Tajinderpal Bagga in separate cases

Chandigarh: The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Wednesday quashed two separate FIRs registered against former AAP leader Kumar Vishwas and BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga by the Punjab Police.

In a tweet, BJP leader Bagga said, “Satyamev Jayate Big slap on @ArvindKejriwal Face. Punjab High court Quashed FIR against Me & @DrKumarVishwas."
