AAP said on Sunday if the party comes to power in Punjab, its government will "seize" the buses owned by the currently ruling Badal family and order a probe into road accidents involving them.

"If voted to power in Punjab, we will seize the buses owned by the Badals and probe all the cases of accidents involving them," party leader Ashish Khetan said.

Khetan's statement came in the wake of a road accident involving a bus of Orbit Aviation, co-owned by Punjab's Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal, yesterday in which four persons were killed.
