Patiala Mayor

The Congress has fielded a former mayor of Patiala - who was welcomed by Navjot Sidhu in the party recently- against Captain Amarinder Singh in the upcoming Punjab assembly election. Vishnu Sharma rejoined the Congress earlier this month.

Punjab's ruling Shiromani Akali Dal on Monday asked its mayor in Patiala to resign after he was named in a murder case.

The Mayor of Punjab's Patiala city and his son were on Saturday booked for the mysterious death of his daughter-in-law, 30-year-old Parampreet Kaur. The woman's body was found in the home of Mayor and Shironami Akali Dal (SAD) leader Jaspal Singh Pradhan and has strangulation marks, police said.
