Sister-in-law done to death
Jhajjar, September 10 The case unveiled after the investigation made by the police clandestinely. The complainant and his mother had submitted an affidavit to the police terming all the accused as “innocents” in the case. Jhajjar SP Patram Singh stated this while speaking to mediapersons here today. He said Vinod Kumar, alias Sonu, of Kasni village here had been arrested on the charge of murdering his brother’s wife Rajbala. Rajbala was gunned down at her in-laws’ house in Kasni village on the intervening night of August 5 and 6, 2010, while she was asleep. The police found the body of Rajbala lying on the floor in a pool of blood and Vinod in an injured state. Vinod sustained bullet injuries in the stomach, said the SP. The police had registered a case of murder against four co-villagers, Narender, his father, Kartar, Balwan and Raj Kumar, on Vinod’s complaint in this regard. During investigation, Vinod informed the police that all the four accused came to their house in the night and opened several rounds of fire at Rajbala and him from a close range. All the accused fled after perpetrating the crime, Patram Singh said, adding that Vinod at that time had told the police that the accused attacked them due to an old enmity. “We smelt a rat when Vinod and his mother, Veermati, some months after the killing, started describing all the accused as “innocents”. They even submitted an affidavit to the police for withdrawing the criminal case against the accused,” said the SP. He maintained that the police started a secret investigation thereafter and arrested Vinod after collecting evidence against him. Vinod, during interrogation, revealed that he had hatched a conspiracy to implicate people from his village in a false case for taking revenge from them as they were the witnesses against him in a case of attempt to murder, the SP added. “Vinod first shot his sister-in-law and then fired at himself in a way that the police could not suspect him,” said Patram Singh. |

Tejas Kidnapping Case
Panipat, September 10 The team comprising nine officials under the supervision of an SP-rank officer reached here around 4 pm and headed straight towards the Maharaja hotel on NH1, where the accused had reportedly stayed the night before the kidnapping. The CBI team also brought along two of the accused, Satinder Malik and Pradeep Thakur, and re-enacted their activities on the hotel premises. The team interacted with the staff members of the hotel and sought information. The team stayed on the hotel premises for about 20 minutes during which the hotel was sealed and none was allowed entry. It also scrutinised the register of the hotel looking for entries that had been made in it in December 2008, when Tejas was kidnapped. Sources said that during interrogation, two out of the three accused had told the CBI that they had stayed at this hotel and carried out a detailed survey of the city roads that lead to Paruthi chowk from where Tejas was kidnapped. The CBI had also got hold of the footage of the CCTV camera installed in the lobby of the Maharaja hotel. The accused had stayed here in room number 109 the day before December 12, 2008, when Tejas was kidnapped while he along with his mother was
waiting for his morning school bus. Tejas’s father, Rajesh Gaba, a known industrialist, had announced a cash reward for anyone coming up with authentic information that could help them find their son. The family is now hoping that their long wait will finally be over soon. |

Sehajdhari Sikhs debate ‘motivated’
Sirsa, September 10 Talking to mediapersons here at the house of Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Youth President of the SAD, Delhi State, Tarlochan Singh said nowhere in the world the places of worship of any religion were managed by “secondary or subsidiary believers”, but by those who belonged primarily to that religion. “This was truer in the case of Sikhs, who are distinctly identifiable by turban and beard. Allowing those, who do not keep hair and beard to manage Sikh gurdwaras will tantamount to wiping out the very Sikh identity,” he said. Tarlochan Singh wondered why any Sahejdhari should approach courts for getting a certificate of him being a Sikh. Tarlochan Singh also demanded that the marriages of Sikhs should be registered under the Sikh Marriage Act, instead of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, under which these were being registered today. He said Sikhs going abroad faced an embarrassing situation because their passports mentioned them as Sikhs while their marriage certificates declared them as Hindus. |

Dera Sacha Sauda
Sirsa, September 10 Anshul, a son of slain scribe Ram Chander Chattarpati, is a key witness in the murder case of his father in the CBI Special Court in which the Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram
Rahim Singh is one of the prime accused. Anshul, who is the Editor of an evening daily, Poora Sach, started by his father, enjoys police security due to the threat perception to his life. “He barged into the paper’s office and could not give any satisfactory answer to questions put by my staff. Later, when my gunman caught hold of him and we quizzed him strongly, he admitted that he came from the Dera Sacha Sauda and he had been assigned a “task” from there,” Anshul Chattarparti alleged in his complaint
to the police. The accused was identified as Rajinder Singh, a resident of Moranwali village in Faridkot district. He said a locket worn by the follower of the dera bearing the registered number of the accused was found around his neck. However, Pawan Insan denied that the person had any connection with the Dera Sacha Sauda. “This seems to me a ploy to influence the criminal cases against Guruji (the dera chief) being tried by the CBI Court,” Insan said and asked as to why any sane person would do such a folly at this stage. The SP, Satinder Kumar Gupta, said the police had arrested the accused, Rajinder Singh, under Sections 506 and 451 of the IPC on the complaint of Anshul Chhatarpati. He said the truth would come out only after the investigations, but prima facie, the accused appeared to be a drug addict. |

Civil Hospital doctors blamed for 2 deaths
Ambala, September 10 According to information, Roopa, a middle-aged woman of Barara village, was admitted to the maternity ward of the hospital on Thursday night after she developed labour pains. As Roopa was anaemic, she needed immediate blood transfusion. One unit of blood was made available from the blood bank of the hospital, but the doctors said one more unit of blood was needed. When her relatives approached the blood bank in that regard, they were asked to bring a blood donor. But they could not arrange a blood donor immediately. In the meantime, Roopa delivered a dead child. Relatives of the woman alleged the child could have been saved had the woman been administered required units of blood in time. Interestingly, 28 units of blood of the required blood group were available in the blood bank of the hospital at that time. The Civil Surgeon has entrusted the inquiry into the case to Dr Rajinder Rai, RMO of the hospital. In another case, Raghubir Singh of Ambala City was brought to the trauma centre of the hospital for treatment. The woman doctor present on the duty checked him and asked his relatives to take him home claiming that his condition was not so serious. The relatives requested the doctor to get him admitted as they felt his condition was not good, but to no avail. After around two hours, the relatives took the patient to a private nursing home where he was declared “brought dead”. The relatives alleged Raghubir died due to
the negligence of the woman doctor. |

Hisar bypoll: Ban on carrying arms
Hisar, September 10 Those arms holders who deposit their arms with registered arms dealers would have to deposit a copy of the receipt issued by the dealers with the police station concerned, failing which it would be presumed that the arms had not been deposited and legal action would follow. On the other hand, the district authorities have directed that a candidate coming to the office of the returning officer to file nomination papers will be allowed to bring just three vehicles within 100 metres of the office of the returning officer. Only four persons excluding the candidate will be allowed inside the office. During campaigning, the candidates will be allowed to take along just 10 vehicles and the expenses incurred on these vehicles would be calculated towards the election expenses incurred by the candidate. However, this number does not include the security vehicles. |
