High drama unfolded after the nomination papers of Navneet Chaturvedi, who had filed for the lone Rajya Sabha seat from Punjab, were rejected over forgery charges.

The Chandigarh Police, which were providing security to Chaturvedi, whisked him away before the Ropar Police could arrest him. The Ropar police, thereafter, followed the Chandigarh Police team to the police headquarters in Sector 9.

Meanwhile, Chaturvedi, a Jaipur resident who claims to be the national president of the Janata Party, said he would challenge the rejection of his nomination papers in the High Court.

Now, only two candidates remain in the fray for the elections scheduled for October 24. These are AAP official nominee Rajinder Gupta and his wife Madhu. She is likely to withdraw her nomination papers tomorrow.
