Harbhajan Singh’s security cover was removed on April 25, 2026, under controversial circumstances. This action led to an attack on his residence in Jalandhar shortly thereafter.
On April 30, Harbhajan Singh filed a petition challenging the withdrawal of his security. The Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued a notice to the Punjab government regarding this petition.
Harbhajan Singh is currently a Member of Parliament. His petition claims that the withdrawal of security was politically motivated.
The Punjab Advocate General stated that Harbhajan Singh is not residing in Punjab. Reports indicate that the security was removed without a new threat assessment or prior notice.
His security had been provided after a review by state intelligence agencies in May 2022. The petition aims to annul the order that removed his security.
After the removal of his security, a crowd allegedly attacked his residence in Jalandhar. Following this incident, the Ministry of Home Affairs intervened and deployed CRPF personnel for his protection.
On April 28, Harbhajan Singh submitted a representation requesting the restoration of his security. However, no action has been taken on this representation yet.
The next hearing for this case is scheduled for May 12, 2026. The situation continues to develop as legal proceedings unfold.
