Cop hurls stick, injures 11 Fatehabad, November 21 The victims were going to Rattia in the district to attend the last rites of a relative. The police personnel immediately left the scene. They also took the Sumo driver with them. According to the injured, who were admitted to the local General Hospital by a passer-by, they had hired a Tata Sumo from Meham in Rohtak district and were going to Rattia to attend a rasam pagri ceremony. When their vehicle reached near the Matana turn on the national highway, 3 km from here, a policeman of the Highway Police threw a stick at the vehicle. The stick broke a side window-pane of the vehicle and hit Mr Kishan Lal (45) on his eye. The sudden attack surprised the driver, who lost control over the vehicle. The Tata Sumo hit against a tree injuring all 11 passengers. The injured have been identified as Mr Prem Kumar (60), Ms Kailash Devi (50), Mr Sant Lal (45), Ms Sarla Devi (40), Mr Kishan Lal (45), Ms Kanta Devi (40), Ms Soma Devi (25), Ms Kartar Devi (65), Ms Suman Rani (25) and Dheeraj (12). After the incident, the cops took the Sumo driver with them. They did not take the injured to the hospital. Later, a passer-by took them to the local General Hospital in his own vehicle. The condition of Mr Sant Lal is stated to be serious. He has suffered serious head injuries. Another injured Mr Prem Kumar, has fractured his leg bone. The injured were sore at the insensitivity of the police in leaving them unattended at the accident site. Efforts were made to contact the Highway Police post here over the telephone, but no responsible official was available for comments. The policeman on telephone duty gave a mobile number of Highway Police Inspector, Raghubir Singh, but all efforts to call on that number proved futile. Local residents allege that the Highway Police, instead of ensuring a smooth flow of traffic on the highway, is more interested in stopping vehicles and extorting money from the vehicle owners on one pretext or the other. |

HIGH COURT Chandigarh, November 21 Claiming to have contested elections against Bhajan Lal, rival Gurmesh Bishnoi, in his complaint, had contended that he was illegally kept at a police station, maltreated and taken to Punjab with a view to eliminate him. His counsel had added that the complainant, at a later stage, was shown as arrested in a false case under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code, besides being implicated in a case under TADA. The Judge, after going through the arguments, ruled: “In the present case, the matter was considered by this Court at the instance of the complainant and vide order dated August 28, 1993, this Court held that no case was made out for the registration of case against the petitioner.... There appears to be strained relationship between the parties. The petitioner and the complainant had opposed each other in the elections. Having regard to the nature of the allegation made in the FIR, and findings of this Court, proceedings against the petitioner would not appear to be
justified”.

He said that the ICAR already had its KVK at Sikohpur village in Gurgaon district. For the uplift agriculture and animal husbandry of the area, the Vice-Chancellor said the university proposed to start another such centre in the Mewat region or elsewhere provided the central and state governments allowed 50-acre land to the university free of cost.
