Punjab minister, IPS officer to get married: Harjot Bains, Jyoti Yadav congratulated by Assembly Speaker

A Punjab minister and an IPS officer posted in the state are set to tie the knot, according to the news agency PTI.

Punjab education minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Harjot Singh Bains and IPS officer Jyoti Yadav will get married by the end of March 2023, as per PTI.

Punjab Assembly Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan on 12 March 2023 congratulated Bains and Yadav, who are "going to start a new journey of their lives in (the) coming days".

Jyoti Yadav is posted as superintendent of police in Mansa district, while Bains represents Anandpur Sahib constituency in the Assembly.

Hailing from Gurugram in Haryana, Yadav hogged the limelight last year after a public argument with AAP MLA Rajinderpal Kaur Chhina, who accused the IPS officer of conducting a search operation in her assembly area without informing her. Yadav, who was then the assistant commissioner of police in Ludhiana, had told the Ludhiana South MLA that she was directed to conduct the search operation against anti-social elements by the police commissioner.

Since the AAP stormed to power in Punjab last year, Mann has tied the knot with Gurpreet Kaur. AAP MLAs Narinder Kaur Bharaj and Narinderpal Singh Sawana also got married during this time.
