The alleged victim in the sexual exploitation case against Punjab Cabinet Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak has withdrawn his complaint and even claimed that a purported video of the exploitation that had surfaced was “doctored”.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