Posted on Monday, 8 October 2012 by Punjabi Articles

The aggrieved parents of 15-year-old Shruti, who was abducted from her house here a fortnight ago, have decided to move the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seeking a CBI probe into the incident.

“With the police trying to project the case as that of elopement, we are left with no other option but to approach the High Court for a CBI probe,” said the victim’s father, Ashwani Kumar.

“Shruti was kidnapped by a gang on September 24. The police has failed to trace her whereabouts or nab the gang leader, Nishan singh, who is facing 16 criminal cases. Now, the police is suggesting that it is a case of elopement, not one of kidnapping,” said Swaran Singh, member of the local Action Committee that has been formed to get justice for the aggrieved parents.

Posted on Friday, 28 September 2012 by Punjabi Articles

Despite the intensified patrolling by the police, there seems to be no let up in snatching incidents in the city which continue to haunt the residents every now and then.

While the police blames the residents for not taking preventive measures and continuing to wear gold chain and ear rings while moving on deserted roads, the people accuse the police of not doing enough to check the menace.

In today's incident, a city girl, Veerpal Kaur, who works as a marketing executive in a company selling household products, was attacked by a turbaned youth on a motorbike.

The youth tried to snatch her gold chain but failed. The girl was walking in a street near the Ganesha Basti at around quarter to eleven in the morning today. The girl resisted the snatching bid and tried to raise an alarm. But since it was a hot day, not many people were out on the streets.

LUDHIANA DOUBLE MURDER: COPS QUESTIONS 30 PEOPLE, DSP KIN

Posted on Wednesday, 8 February 2012 by Punjabi Articles


The district police have questioned over 30 people, including the family of DSP Balraj Singh Gill — who was found murdered along with one Monica Kapila — for the double murders that took place at a farmhouse near Golf Links Colony on the city outskirts on February 2.

“We are working on numerous theories like contract killing, honour killing, personal or professional rivalries. We have questioned a large number of people including the families of both the DSP and the woman. This is a very high profile and prestigious case for we have lost one of our own and cannot leave anything to chance,” said DCP Ashish Chaudhry.

Asked about Gill’s father’s allegation that the “woman angle” has been planted just to defame the deceased officer, Chaudhry said: “Why should we do that? There was a woman at this farmhouse and her dead body was found there. Above all, why will we malign one of our own officers? We do not want to hurt the family in any way but solving this case and getting the guilty behind the bars is our top most priority,” said Chaudhry.

EC order on depositing firearms ‘hurts’ licencees

Posted on Sunday, 11 December 2011 by Punjabi Articles


Following directions from the Election Commission to the police and civil administration, the process of depositing firearms by licence-holders holders has begun. However, the process, which has been advanced this time, has burdened the policemen who have keep round-the-clock guard of over three lakh firearms deposited at various police stations in the state.

Earlier, such a directive used to be issued once the poll dates were announced. But this time, the Election Commission has become overcautious and has started the process in advance, something that is hurting the licencees as well.

Several licencees who live on the outskirts of cities or in their agricultural fields say without their weapons they are exposed to threats to their life and property.


The firearms have to be deposited at nearest police stations and a receipt is given to licencees. Once the elections get over, the licencees can get back their weapons after producing the receipt. The police is seeking the help of private gun dealers to deposit these weapons and allowing them to charge monthly deposit fee from weapon owners.

Posted on Thursday, 8 December 2011 by Punjabi Articles


The ‘would be’ cadets of Air Force today faced the wrath of the Punjab Police when they turned up at Khalsa College ground to take part in a recruitment rally. Officials of Sainik Welfare wing said the police had to resort to mild lathicharge to man the aspirants who had come from various pockets of the state to submit applications for posts under various categories of the Air Force.

The management of the college, too, did not like this chaotic situation in their campus.

Over 2,000 youths, who gathered at the Khalsa College ground to submit applications, began to complain about lack of basic amenities during the recruitment drive. “We were made to stand in the queues since the wee hours and there were no basic arrangements, like drinking water or adequate toilets within the campus,” they said.

A candidate from Gurdaspur alleged that in the absence of adequate counters, they faced difficulty in appearing for the physical test or depositing their application forms. “We are in thousands, they should at least have more outlets to attend us. This is utter mismanagement,” he said.
