Punjab Congress leader booked over casteist remarks; case ongoing amid political fallout.

Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring has been booked under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita over alleged casteist remarks made during a campaign for the Tarn Taran Assembly bypoll. The complaint, filed by son of late Union Home Minister Buta Singh, accused Warring of using derogatory terms like "Black Sikh" and "rang kala," which he claims were racially charged and hurt the Mazhabi Sikh community. Warring apologized, calling Buta Singh a father figure, but the case proceeds with investigations by Cyber Crime Police and inquiries by national and state SC commissions. The controversy has drawn political condemnation and raised concerns over caste discourse ahead of the November 11 bypoll.
