Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal was detained by Punjab Police Tuesday during a protest alleging scam in various schemes introduced by the Captain Amarinder Singh-led government.

Badal was detained after he along with scores of SAD leaders staged a demonstration against the state government outside the residence of the Chief Minister at Siswan.

Speaking to reporters before getting detained, Badal asserted that “if a storm rises, Captain will not be able to stop it.”

“If a storm rises, Captain won’t be able to stop it, even if he uses all his force. There is a scam in vaccination, there is a scam in Fateh Kit, there is a scam in SC scholarship, also farmers’ land is being acquired,” the SAD chief was quoted as saying by ANI.
