Raja Warring Skips SC Panel Summons Over Alleged Casteist Remark, Gets Time Till Nov 17

The state SC commission gave him until November 17 to respond following his absence from a summons during bypoll duties.

Overview

  • Kapurthala police have registered an FIR on a complaint by Buta Singh’s son Sarabjot Singh Sidhu, citing BNS sections 353 and 196 along with provisions of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
  • Warring’s counsel appeared before the Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission without a vakalatnama as both he and the Tarn Taran district election officer sought exemption from in‑person appearance.
  • The commission requested an action‑taken report from the Kapurthala SSP by November 10 and granted Warring time to appear or respond by November 17.
  • The National Commission for Scheduled Castes earlier asked police to file a report within seven days after receiving a complaint from BJP leader Tarun Chug.
  • Warring has issued an unconditional apology over his remarks as political criticism intensifies during the Tarn Taran bypoll on November 11, with results due November 14.
