Punjab Congress leaders have been staging sit-in front of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal's house here demanding the transfer of Ludhiana Police Commissioner Jatinder Singh Aulakh and suspension of the ADCP for their alleged biased role in registering cases against Congress leaders.

They have also been protesting over the arrest of Youth Congress leaders and cases slapped against party workers under various sections, including section 307 (attempt to murder) of IPC.
