Patiala, March 26 -- Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra was arrested by the Punjab Police from Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior, more than six months after he escaped police custody in a rape case. Officials on Wednesday said Pathanmajra, the first-time MLA from Sanour in Patiala, was nabbed from Gwalior late Tuesday night. "Following his arrest, he was brought back to Patiala early on Wednesday amid tight security arrangements and was produced before a local court seeking police remand. Consequently, the court has granted four days police remand," said Senior Superintendent of Police (Patiala) Varun Sharma. On September 1, 2025, police had registered a case against Pathanmajra at the Civil Lines police station on the charges of rape, cheating and criminal intimidation. The case was registered based on a complaint by a Zirakpur-based woman, who alleged that the MLA misrepresented himself as a divorcee, entered into a relationship with her and later married in 2021 while already being married. She accused him of continued sexual exploitation, threats and sending "obscene" material to her. The AAP MLA had been declared a proclaimed offender after he failed to appear in this case. Patiala police had even issued a look-out notice against the AAP MLA. Pathanmajra had been on the run since September 2 in the rape case. He had escaped police custody when the Punjab police went to Haryana's Karnal to arrest him. "The accused was technologically adept and used multiple mobile numbers to evade law enforcement," SSP Sharma said....
