Jalandhar, April 27 -- Two days after former AAP Rajya Sabha member Harbhajan Singh snapped ties with the AAP before aligning with the Bharatiya Janta Party ( BJP), the Punjab Police on Sunday reportedly withdrew the security cover provided to him by the state government. The state police security, comprising of 8-10 police personnel, has been deployed at Harbhajan's Jalandhar-based residence in the Chhotti Baradari area. Soon after their departure, the central government deputed 10 personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) outside the former Indian cricketer's house and cordoned off the whole area. "As Punjab police security was scaled down, the CRPF personnel arrived from its regional headquarters based in Jalandhar to take control of security protocols," said a senior official. On Saturday, agitated AAP workers spray-painted the word "gaddar (traitor)" on the walls of Harbhajan's Jalandhar house. Police remained mute spectators as AAP workers sprayed graffiti all over the facade of the three-storey building, raising security concerns. Similar remarks were also painted on the main gate of the Lovely Professional University (LPU) campus in Phagwara, owned by Ashok Mittal and on the boundary walls of Rajinder Gupta's houses in Ludhiana's Kitchlu Nagar and Chandigarh. The trio are among the seven Rajya Sabha members - including Raghav Chadha and Sandeep Pathak - who severed ties with the AAP in a move that effectively handed over two-thirds of the party's Upper House strength to the BJP. Harbhajan has yet to clear his stance over his allegiance to the saffron party, as he could not be contacted. The former ace off-spinner is presently part of the commentary panel of the ongoing IPL season. While Harbhajan rarely occupies the Jalandhar house due to his professional and political commitments, his mother and sister live here. This is not the first time that the AAP government has curtailed security of leaders at odds with the party. On April 15, Raghav Chadha's security was withdrawn after he was removed as deputy leader of AAP in the Rajya Sabha and replaced with Ashok Mittal. Earlier, former AAP MP Sushil Kumar Rinku, former AAP MLA Sheetal Angural, family members of former chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh have been provided central security cover....
