Jalandhar, June 6
In a case of personal vendetta, the family of a girl Parveen Kumari, whose face was blackened last year by several people of her village, has once again been issued threats on their return to Rahimpur village.
Parveen Kumari, her mother Bonso and younger sister Suman Bala had left their village falling under Kartarpur police station when they were humiliated and threatened by Nambardar Harkishan Pappu on May 22 last year.
This time around too, when they returned to the village on May 20, Harkishan threatened them with dire consequences if they didn’t leave the village.
Bonso said, “Harkishan carrying a sharp-edged weapon came to our house on May 30 and threatened us.”
Banso said that Harkishan and his family members, including his wife Rani, his brother Ramu, Ramu’s wife Manjit and their mother Charan Kaur blackened her daughter Parveen Kumari’s face when they found that my son Varinder was having a love affair with Harkishan’ niece Preeti of Alipur village. Both of them were now happily married, she said.
Banso said, “They dragged my 17-year-old daughter Parveen Kumari to their house, humiliated her, blackened her face and took her to the village “chabutra”.
The police took over three months to register the FIR against the accused and still not presented the charge sheet in court.
After the recent threats, Banso met with the Senior Superintendent of Police Yurinder Singh Hayer on Friday to seek justice.
Hayer, when contacted, said, “I have directed SP (Operations) Gurmeet Singh to look into the matter. After I get the report from him, we will take action appropriately.”
