Abuse complaint against Punjab minister Lal Chand Kataruchak withdrawn

The alleged victim in the sexual exploitation case against Punjab Cabinet Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak has withdrawn his complaint and even claimed that a purported video of the exploitation that had surfaced was “doctored”.

The about-turn by the complainant, who had accused the minister of exploiting him for several years, comes as a relief for the Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, which was defying Governor Banwarilal Purohit’s order to register a criminal case against the minister.
