Punjab AAP MLA Harmit Singh Pathanmajra, who has been on the run since September 2 in a rape case, is learnt to have fled to Australia after his appearance in a video interview.
The development came as an embarrassment for the police, as the Sanour MLA remained elusive despite raids at his possible hideouts.
Patiala police also issued a look-out notice against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA.
Mr. Pathanmajra appeared in the video interview on Friday (November 7, 2025) with an Australia-based Punjabi web channel in which he claimed that he would "return home only after securing bail".
