Cong leader’s son caught selling spurious seed Jalandhar, November 7 Avinash, along with his three accomplices, including Gurmukh Singh, Sukhdev Pal and Sandeep, was nabbed during a raid on Sampooran Cold Storage by a police team led by DSP Balkar Singh. The police conducted the raid after District Mandi Officer (DMO) Sarabjit Singh submitted a complaint in this regard. A first information report (FIR) was registered against the four accused under sections 420 and 142, IPC, after their arrest on Friday. The accused were remanded in two-day police custody when they were produced in a local court today. The arrest of the four persons is significant as there were reports of supply of spurious potato seed from Punjab to West Bengal in the recent past. Reputed potato growers had met the authorities concerned requesting them to check sale of spurious potato seed as its continuance would have brought bad name for Punjab. In the meantime, this correspondent tried to contact DMO Sarabjit Singh to get more information about the suspected role of the accused in supplying spurious potato seed to other states of the country, including West Bengal, but he could not be contacted as his mobile phone was switched off. The DMO was also not available at his local residence as he had gone to Chandigarh for some work. Meanwhile, several startling revelations are expected during interrogation by the district police during the remand of the accused. |

The principals and the faculty members of the affected colleges have been demanding scrapping of three cultural items - one-act play, group bhajan and bhangra - owing to the alleged partiality during the festival.

He added that the malpractice should be brought to an end as students were being cheated under the garb of youth festivals. “The university authorities had done videography of the festival and it should be probed,” he said. University Registrar Dr Inderjeet Singh said the colleges should bring this matter to the notice of the VC. “The colleges should talk to the higher authorities as this is injustice in the name of healthy competition,” he said.
