Patiala police had even issued a look-out notice against the MLA.Pathanmajra had been on the run since September 2 in the rape case. He had escaped police custody when the Punjab police went to Haryana’s Karnal to arrest him.Police had then claimed that gunshots were fired and stones thrown by the legislator’s supporters after a police team went to arrest him at Dabri village in Karnal district, where he was at the house of one of his relatives.However, Pathanmajra had denied police claims of being involved in firing at cops and said he fled after learning that he would be killed in a “fake encounter”.
