Gurpreet Singh Sekhon, the main accused in the 2016 Nabha jailbreak case and a former gangster, has joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann welcomed Sekhon into the party at an event in Zira. Political analysts believe AAP could field Sekhon from the Zira Assembly constituency, potentially reshaping the political contest in the Akali Dal stronghold. The move has sparked controversy, with the opposition questioning AAP's decision and whether Sekhon could get a ticket in the 2027 Assembly polls.
