AAP MLA Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra Declared Proclaimed Offender by Patiala Court

The judge opened BNSS Section 85 proceedings to enable attachment of his assets, with investigators told to file a property list by January 31.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s Sanaur MLA Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra has been absconding for over three months since a Zirakpur-based woman lodged a complaint on September 1, accusing him of rape, cheating and criminal intimidation. An FIR was registered under Sections 376, 420 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Civil Lines police station. (HT File)

Overview

  • Pathanmajra failed to appear in a case stemming from a September 1 FIR that accuses him of rape, cheating and criminal intimidation filed at Patiala’s Civil Lines police station.
  • Judicial magistrate Harjot Singh Gill directed separate BNSS Section 85 proceedings that permit attachment of movable and immovable property of an absconding accused.
  • The court issued notice to the investigating officer to place the MLA’s property details on record on January 31, 2026.
  • Police say the Sanaur legislator has been on the run since September 2, with a lookout notice issued, and officials report he left India via Nepal and is believed to be in Australia.
  • He allegedly fled a police raid at a relative’s home in Haryana’s Karnal, leading to a separate Haryana Police case over obstruction and facilitation of escape, while he denies the charges and calls the case politically motivated.
