After the Opposition demanded action against Haryana BJP state president Subhash Barala, after his son Vikas was arrested for allegedly stalking a woman, state Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said it was not right to punish the minister for his son's crime.

"I came to know about this incident. Chandigarh Police has filed the complaint and I believe they will take appropriate action. This matter is not related with Subhash Barala but with an individual. So action would be taken against his son," Khattar told media.

The son of Haryana BJP chief Subhash Barala was arrested along with another person for allegedly stalking a senior state IAS officer's daughter, police said on Saturday.

Vikas Barala was arrested by the police along with his accomplice, Ashish, from the Housing Board light early on Saturday. Police said that both accused were drunk when they were stalking the victim.

Police officials said that Vikas and Ashish were granted bail as the sections imposed against them were bailable.
