Patiala: Maheru village Sarpanch Baljinder Singh arrested in Goonda Tax case

The Patiala police on Sunday arrested Maheru village Sarpanch Baljinder Singh, two days after an FIR was registered against him and five others for allegedly collecting “goonda tax” (Rs 100 to Rs 1,000) from motorists using the village road by setting up an illegal “toll plaza”. In a viral video, the accused were seen collecting money from a vehicle owner passing through the village.
