A day after the incident in which an accused in a cheating case, Dr GS Samra was allegedly found stamping parole documents of the CJM, Mohali court, the Mohali Police booked the under trial for cheating, forgery, misleading and threatening the court staff and tampering with the court record.

The case has been registered on the basis of a complaint forwarded by the CJM, Mohali Courts, Ajiab Singh, to the SSP, Mohali. A case under Sections 186, 170, 353, 456, 467, 468, 471 and 506 of the IPC has been registered at Matour Police Station, said GPS Bhullar, the SSP, Mohali.

Yesterday, Court Alhmad Daljeet Singh had complained to the CJM that Samra had tampered with the court documents, pertaining to parole. While posing as a vigilance officer, Samra had gained access to the office of the Alhmad and had threatened him. However, he was caught red handed when the court Alhmad became suspicious and alarmed the court staff. Sources reveal that the incident of the accused, who was supposed to be in police custody and behind bars, managed to come to the room of the Court Alhmad was being probed. A departmental inquiry had been marked against the policemen who had supposedly accompanied Samra from Patiala jail. 

Rehri-rickshaw used for dumping bodies

A rehri-rickshaw found abandoned near the bodies led to the arrests of the accused. The rehri owner was identified as Rajpal, a sweeper at the Group Housing Society No 9. Rajpal told the police that after finishing the job he used to park the rehri with Munni Lal who ironed the clothes of society residents. Munni Lal revealed that Jaibir took away the rehri on Sunday. Jaibir in his confession told the police that he along with Ashok took the bodies on rehri and dumped them near the railway track behind the society, said sources.

Accused suggested Purmila to sell off flat

The reports allegedly suggested that Jaibir who also dealt in real estate business had advised Purmila to sell off her flat. However, the deceased had refused to do so. It is also suspected that the accused killed the woman to usurp her property as she was unmarried.

P’kula cops fail

The delay of one week in detection of the crime is in fact an egg on the face of the Panchkula police. After the college authorities informed the police regarding their missing employees from the society, the police personnel visited the flat and checked for the clue. They however, failed to find blood spots on the floor which was cleverly hidden under the bundle of clothes by the accused.
