The court of Additional Sessions Judge Paramjit Singh today framed charges against all accused arrested in the infamous DSP Balraj Gill and Monika Kapila muder case.

The court fixed January 29 as the next date of hearing. It directed the prosecution to start examining the prosecution witnesses from the next date of hearing.

All six accused, Harminder Singh, alias Binder, Pritpal Singh, alias Ladoo and Umesh Karda, residents of Talwara village, and their accomplices Ravinder Singh, Hussanjit and Davinder Pal Singh Laddi have been charged with committing the brutal murder of the duo. They have also been charged with destroying evidence to hide the crime.

Special Public Prosecutor Sukhchain Singh said charges had been framed against all accused under Sections 302, 404, 379, 465, 468, 471, 474 and 120-B of the IPC.

DSP Gill and his friend Monica Kapila were found murdered at a farmhouse in the Golf Link area near Hambran Road on Feburary 1 last year.

On June 15, 2012, the local police had filed a chargesheet containing 374 pages against the six persons arrested on chagres of killing Moga DSP Balraj Singh Gill (46) and Monica Kapila (38) on Feburary 1 in Ludhiana. There were around 70 witnesses cited by the prosecution.

In its chargesheet, the police has heavily relied upon extra judicial confessions, the footprint report, the fingerprint report and the mobile tower location report to connect the accused persons with the commission of offence, apart from oral circumstantial evidence of witnesses. The DNA report of the accused’s hair is still awaited.

The farmhouse belonged to a friend of the DSP, where the duo met with the tragedy.

The accused used to loot lovebirds in the Golf link area at night. DSP Gill and Monica became victims of the accused's greed.

At the time of the incident, the DSP was not carrying his service revolver and gunmen were also not accompanying him as he had concealed his identity from Monica.

Besides questioning over 2,000 youths living in Hambran and the surrounding areas, the police had grilled the owner of the farmhouse and an officer of the Assistant Commissioner of Police level for not sounding an alert on time.

The case was cracked by the police on April 5 last year with the arrest of three prime accused.

An LPG cylinder exploded after an old cold storage located near Chand Cinema caught fire in the wee hours of today. It took fire brigade officials more than four hours to douse the flames.

Fire brigade officials said the fire had broken in the cold storage around midnight, but the fire brigade was informed at 4.33 am. With the help fire engines, the officials managed to douse the flames by 8 am.

The officials suspect that the fire at Satluj Cold Store may have been triggered by a lighted ‘beedi’ thrown by someone as there was straw around or a firecracker may have landed there.

A firefighter, Navrang Singh, had a providential escape as timely intervention by his colleagues saved him from falling from a height of 20 ft.

It is learnt that as the firefighters were trying to douse the flames, a commercial LPG cylinder lying inside the cold storage exploded.

A fire dozer was also sent to the spot. A fire dozer can store water equivalent to four fire tenders.

Subodh Kumar, owner of Satluj Cold Store, said fortunately there was no loss of life. “It’s was an old cold storage and we were already in the process of demolishing it. Husk was lying scattered in the cold storage, due to which the fire spread. A lighted beedi or a firecracker may have led to the fire incident,” he said.

Panic gripped Model Town Extension and the surrounding area after the body of a man was found hanging from a tree near a Krishna temple here today.

The incident came to light at 9.30 am when a resident of the area saw the body and informed the police.

According to Surjit Singh Nagra, in charge of the bus stand police post, the man, who appeared to be a migrant in his thirties, is yet to be identified.

Preliminary investigation suggests that the man may have committed suicide last night. A cloth was used for hanging. The police has not ruled out other angles. There is a possibility that the man may have been gagged to death and his body hanged from a tree to make it appear like a suicide to hoodwink the police.

The police took the body to the Civil Hospital for a postmortem examination. Nagra said they were waiting for the postmortem report.

A fresh revelation in the incident in which a resident of Tibba Road was booked on a charge of raping a mentally-challenged woman has left the police shocked.

It has come to light that it was a double whammy for the woman. According to the police, the rape victim was normal like any other woman till a few days ago.

A resident of Bhugga village in Hoshiarpur, she suffered a "stroke of madness" after her child went missing while she was travelling back to Hoshiarpur on a bus after attending a wedding at Phagwara.

The story unfolded today when relatives of the rape victim visited the Division No. 7 police station. The Phagwara police was searching for the mother-son duo for the past four days. It was being suspected that the mother was raped and the child killed.

The rape victim had left the house on January 6 along with her two-and- a-half-year-old son to attend a wedding.

After attending the wedding on January 9, she incidentally caught a wrong bus and reached Ludhiana instead of Phagwara. She does not know how and where she lost her child.

For nearly three days, she kept wandering on the streets of Tibba Road and the surrounding area searching for her son in tattered clothes.

On January 12, Taranjit Singh, who lives in the EWS Colony after being deserted by his wife, took advantage of the woman in distress and allegedly raped her.

The rape victim was married nearly 15 years ago. Her husband sells vegetables for a living.

One of the victim's relatives said Manpreet Singh, the boy who went missing, was born after three daughters.

Today, the Phagwara police got information about the missing woman and informed the family members.

For the past two days, the woman was kept at the Division No. 7 police station and was provided home-cooked food by the police.

Yesterday, the Nari Nikatan authorities in Jalandhar had refused to admit the woman, citing her mental condition.

The investigating officer said the Nari Nikatan authorities expressed concern over the woman's mental condition and suggested that she should be sent to a healthcare centre.

Fortunately, her relatives arrived today. The police has launched a hunt to find the missing boy.

Hours after an IAS couple, Dr Sumit Jarangal and Isha Kalia, assumed charge, the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation had a major reshuffle of senior posts today. While Dr Sumit will now be the Zonal Commissioner of Zone D, Isha will be the Zonal Commissioner of Zone A.

Ajay Sood, a PCS officer, who was earlier posted as the Zonal Commissioner Zone D-cum-SDM, will now be the Zonal Commissioner of Zone C. PS Ghuman remains the Zonal Commissioner of Zone B.

Both Dr Sumit Jarangal and Isha Kalia were transferred to the city last week.

Besides being the Zonal Commissioner of Zone A, Dr Sumit will head the Bridges and Roads, Operations and Maintenance, Horticulture, Street Lights, Projects and some other departments of the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation.

Isha Kalia will be heading the building branch, Advertising, Ludhiana City Bus Service Ltd, Computerisation and some other departments of the civic body.

Joint Commissioner Amarjit Singh Sekhon, who was earlier the Zonal Commissioner of Zone C, will now be the overall in charge of the health and sanitation branch. Kamlesh Bansal, who was earlier posted as the Zonal Commissioner of Zone A, will continue to work as the Additional Commissioner (Technical) of the Operations and Maintenance Wing.

Rakesh Kumar Verma, MC Commissioner, said both the officers joined the MC today and they would be taking formal charge of their offices tomorrow. “I expect that both of them would contribute to the overall development of the city,” said Verma.

MC has three IAS officers
The recent posting of a 2009-batch IAS couple, Dr Sumit Jarangal and Isha Kalia, in the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation will take up the tally of IAS officers in the MC to three. It will be after almost a decade that three IAS officers would be posted in the MC at the same time.

The state government has not been able to come out with its promised new policy for the regularisation of unauthorised colonies, which have been proliferating in every nook and corner of Punjab. While thousands of developers of the existing unauthorised colonies have been waiting for the policy to get their unlicensed colonies compounded and regularised, many other unscrupulous developers do not hesitate from carrying out internal development in recently carved out colonies or taking up reconstruction of demolished structures.

Officials of the Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority (GLADA) admit, though candidly, the regulatory and enforcement measures against the existing colonies have virtually been put on the hold for the time being.

"We do take notice of any attempt to carve out a new colony without obtaining a licence under the provisions of the Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act. In some cases the demolition of internal structures was carried out recently. We are committed not to allowing any more unregulated development," the officials said.

However, when it comes to acting against hundreds of other unauthorised colonies in the mega city, the GLADA regulatory mechanism is found wanting. An official, requesting anonymity, said a body of the property developers has arrived at some understanding with the senior government functionaries which stands in the way of taking a penal action against the existing unauthorised colonies.

In an exhaustive fresh survey conducted by GLADA to identify the existing unlicensed colonies, the count stood at 979, which also included a few colonies in Khanna, Moga, Phillaur and Ferozepur, which are under the purview of GLADA.

The delay in the announcement of the new policy for the regularisation of unauthorised colonies, feel several developers, is proving counter-productive. "While the government is losing revenue on account of external development charges and licence fee, the developers are facing a worst kind of crisis as their investment has got stuck. There are no buyers of residential and commercial properties," said Gulshan Kumar, CMD, GK Group.

He said the real estate sector had high hopes from the government. Had the new policy for the regularisation of unlicenced colonies been announced as promised by the government on several occasions, it would have given a new lease of life to the crisis-ridden real estate market.

More trouble for youth leader

A day after being booked for allegedly manhandling and snatching Rs 10,000 from an advocate, Ravi Bali, president of the Mahatma Rawan Youth Federation, had more trouble after he was booked by the Haibowal police in a land grab case.

The case was registered on a complaint of a Sangrur resident, Kimti Rai. According to the complainant, Bali and his aide Satish Kumar prepared fake documents in order to encroach upon a piece of land.

Ravi Bali, who was arrested in a snatching case yesterday, was produced before the court and sent to police remand.

The Haibowal police would question the accused tomorrow in connection with the land grab case.

The State Information Commission has imposed a penalty of Rs 4,000 on the Ludhiana Improvement Trust (LIT) for its failure to provide information sought by Gurcharan Singh, a resident of Rajguru Nagar here, under the Right to Information Act, on time.

The complainant had filed an appeal before the state commission, alleging that the public authority (LIT in this case) had refused to provide the information sought by him under the RTI Act, with the plea that the information related to a third party.

The complaint said on the intervention of the Commission, the information was provided to him in part and that too after a long delay.

On the last date of hearing on January 5, a representative of the respondent maintained that the information sought by Gurcharan Singh was provided to him on December 11, 2012, and December 31, 2012.

State Information Commissioner Chander Parkash has observed in the orders that even though the information has been provided to the applicant, the information was not provided within the stipulated period due to an evasive attitude of the pubic authority.

The applicant was left with no other option but to take pains in getting the information.

The Commissioner has ruled: "In view of these facts, I am of the view that it is a fit case where compensation should be awarded to the applicant as he has suffered a lot on account of attending the hearings of the commission to get the requisite information from the PIO concerned.

Awarding a compensation of Rs 4,000 to the applicant, the Commission directed that the amount be paid to the complainant through a crossed cheque/bank draft within three weeks from the date of the order, and a copy of the same be produced before the commission on the next date of hearing, which has been fixed for January 30, 2013.
