Patiala, January 24 Kulwant Singh (20), who used to train at the Akahra of Rustom-e-Hind Kesar Pehalwan, where incidentally ace wrestler and Olympian Palwinder Cheema also gets his training, was stabbed to death this afternoon. This incident comes weeks after Kulwant’s accomplice at the Kesar Akhara — Gurpal Pehalwan — was shot dead by some unidentified people in the premises of Government College for Physical Education. Incidentally, like Kulwant, Gurpal too was shot dead in broad day light leaving the police clueless about the assassins of Gurpal. Police sources revealed that Kulwant, a resident of Kurali village near Dakala, falling under the Patiala Sadar police station, had come out of the akhara and had an altercation with some of his rivals near the Budha Dal school complex. Later, after things cooled off, he decided to have a hair cut in the nearby busy Raghomajra locality. Making their move, Kulwant’s rivals, who included Kala Nihang and Yadi Badungar, engaged him as he was going to the hair cutting saloon and stabbed him with knives. Writhing in pain and bleeding profusely, Kulwant fell down and was taken to the Government Rajindra Hospital by some bystanders where he was declared brought dead. A police team comprising of SP (City) RK Sharma, DSP (City-1) Kesar Singh, DSP (City-2) Manjit Singh Brar and the Kotwali police station SHO Gurdev Singh Dhaliwal immediately rushed to the site of the incident. The police are on the lookout for three persons- Kala Nihang, Yadi Badungar and a Punjabi university student. A case has been made out against the three accused at the Civil Lines police station.

Kalka, January 24 Commuters attribute this disruption to the deplorable condition of the road from Pinjore railway crossing to Madhanwala Himachal barrier. They allege that the highway has been turned into deteriorating condition since last couple of years due to the apathy of the NHAI as the department has not maintained the highway since long time. The residents of Pinjore have even blocked traffic on the highway against the negligent attitude of the NHAI regarding the maintenance of the highway, and the police had also registered a case against some of the agitators. Notably, some of the industrial associations of the Baddi industrial area had also launched a stir in Panchkula to press for the maintenance of the highway.
