The tipsy cop, in plain clothes, tore all these notes and declared us robbers,” said Sarabjit Singh. We kept on imploring that we were elected representatives of people but he failed to budge, the victims added. The cop, later on, identified as Harnam Singh, constable, kept on abusing and slapping us for nearly 10 minutes. When we resisted, he called a few cops from the nearby police station and again started beating us up. The other police personnel remained mute spectators. “The tipsy cop told his colleagues that we seems to be robbers. While one of the cops, Kulwinder, tried to save us from him, others-Bahadur and Raj Kumar-watched us being thrashed by the cop. He said the matter was brought into the notice of Rahul Gandhi, who assured to urge authorities to take an appropriate action. The victims said senior Congress leaders from Delhi also spoke to the police officials at Fatehgarh Sahib who assured to look into the matter. A complaint, in this regard, has also been lodged at the Fatehgarh Sahib police station. Meanwhile, investigating officer Gurmeet Singh said the suspect cop was deployed in the economic offences wing and is absconding.

Kharar, September 26 Electricity connections of 12 houses at Extension VI of Sunny Enclave were disconnected without any intimation. These connections were restored after the agitation. Rajinder Singh
Rangpuri, president of the Sunny Enclave residents' welfare committee, alleged that the electricity connections were continuously being disconnected by the developers without any intimation. "Employees of the developers silently enter in the houses and disconnect the electricity connections. They demand money in lieu of connecting the supply," Rangpuri alleged. People would come to know about the disconnection after few hours, when their inverters got exhausted, he said. The employees of the developer, on the other hand, said these connections were illegal. Members of the association alleged that the developer was lying as the connections were provided to them three years ago, when the area was developed. The residents said they were having the receipts, wherein people had applied for the connections. The association members demanded that prior notice of at least 24 hours must be given to the residents before disconnecting their electricity. The committee members also alleged indifferent attitude of the developers as despite numerous problems being brought to developer's notice, nothing substantial was being done. The developers were not even giving adequate time to meet representatives of the residents. The developer, Jarnail Singh Bajwa, was not available for comments. |

Under-weight Goods
Chandigarh, September 26 The forum, headed by Jagroop Singh Mahal, observed: “The packet shows on the wrapper that the weight thereof is 100 gm. The contention of the petitioner is that it is only 70 gm. The petitioner came to this conclusion after getting it weighed from a jeweller and found it to be weighing 78.980 gm. The packet is, therefore, grossly underweight.” The forum observed: “The stamp on the wrapper shows its price as Rs 12 for 100 gm. The company is earning Rs 2.40 on its sale. The packets being underweight is in itself an unfair trade practice, misguiding the consumers that its weight is 100 gm when actually it is only 78.980 gm.” Harjinder stated in the petition that he had purchased 10 packs of biscuits in March. When he was about to open one packet, he was shocked to see it underweight. He verified the weight of the said packet and found the same to be about 70 gm whereas the label on the said packet showed the weight to be 100 gm. It amounted to unfair trade practice.

Meeting with ICC chief big leap for ICL: Kapil
Talking to this correspondent over phone, Kapil said, “This is good step of the ICC and we are looking forward to it with positive frame of mind.” When asked whether the ICL management saw the initiative as a step towards inclusion of the league in the main cricketing
body, Kapil said it was not appropriate to comment on it at the moment. “But definitely, it is a big development as the ICC president David Morgan has agreed to meet us on the issue of ICL. I am very happy with the development. If everything goes in right direction, it will be a big success for the ICL and the game as well,” said Kapil. The former Indian skipper also maintained that they had not chalked out any special agenda to be discussed during the meeting. “There is no need to chalk out any special agenda. We have genuine points as we are committed to promote the game as well as the cricketers across the world,” said Kapil, while maintaining that Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had created unnecessary controversies with the ICL. “We are doing nothing different from the board. If they are concerned for 10 cricketers, we are here for over 5,000,” he said. On the forthcoming domestic as well as World Series of ICL, Kapil said the league had been progressing according to its plans. “The league is on its way to success, if the recent exodus of players of Bangladesh team and the nod by Sri Lanka board to
allow the ICL players to play in domestic cricket is any indication,” said Kapil, who would be present, along with Subhash Chandra, owner of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited, during the meeting with Morgan, scheduled to take place in the first week of October in London.
