Chandigarh:
A team of Katihar police arrived in Amritsar on Wednesday
and is yet to meet the Congress MLA. Speaking to NDTV, Sub Inspector of Bihar Police Janardhan
Ram said he has contacted the local police and visited Mr Sidhu's residence but
he was not available.
"Every time we visit here to get his signature of
the bail bond papers, he remains elusive. Even in this visit, we are trying to
reach out to him through his personal assistants who have still kept us in
waiting," said Mr Ram.
When contacted, city police commissioner Dr Sukhchain
Singh Gill said the local police was never contacted by Bihar police. "Inter-state communication happens when the visiting
team has to arrest someone. In this case they are just visiting to get signatures
on judicial papers, so we are not kept in loop," said Dr Gill.
Meanwhile, Mr Ram, who is planning to stay in the city
for another couple of days, confirmed that in every visit they coordinate with
the local police and even accompany the local team to Mr Sidhu's residence.
Bihar's Katihar district police had lodged a case against
cricketer-turned-politician for violating the Model Code of Conduct during a
campaign speech in Lok Sabha polls last year.
Mr Sidhu had reportedly said, "Do not consider
yourself as being in minority. You constitute the majority here. You are about
64 per cent. Do not fall into the trap laid by people like (Asaduddin) Owaisi
(chief of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen). They have been propped up by
the BJP. Recognise your strength and vote en block to defeat Prime Minister
Narendra Modi."
