Convicted in molestation charges

On September 11, 2025, a Tarn Taran district court, led by Additional Sessions Judge Prem Kumar, found AAP MLA Manjinder Singh Lalpura, along with 10 others, guilty in a molestation and assault case dating back to September 4, 2013, involving a 19-year-old Dalit teenager. This included six policemen among the accused.[8] The incident occurred during a wedding and involved molestation and assault by a taxi driver (Lalpura) and others, followed by further assault by police officers. A video of the assault circulated widely, prompting the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognizance and order protection for the survivor and her family.[9]

Immediately after the verdict, eight of the accused, including Lalpura, were arrested and taken into custody. Three others remain at large.[10]

The court sentenced him and several others to four years of imprisonment for their involvement in the case of molestation and assault of a 19-year-old Dalit teenager.[11]
