Amritsar, May 21

Family members of Raj Kumar, alias Raju and Vijay Kandra have shot a letter to Punjab Chief Minister and DGP Punjab Police while alleging that they were being threatened by the opposite group and were pressurised for compromise.

Raj Kumar and Vijay Kandra were suspects in the Luv Kush Nagar clash that led to firing in the Civil Hospital in which an emergency medical officer had sustained bullet injury. The cantonment police had registered a cross case against the opposite group after the supporters of Raj Kumar and Kandra held agitation. A clash took place at the Luv Kush Nagar area on March 14 which later led to firing at Civil Hospital.

An FIR was registered by the Cantonment police station. At that time, the police had booked Raj Kumar Raju along with Sunny Sahota, Vijay Kandra, besides their other ‘accomplices’ on charges of illegal restrain, firing and creating law and order problem and under the Arms Act.

However, on May 10, the police, on the statement of Vijay Kumar of Luv Kush Nagar, had filed a cross case while booking Rahul Negi, Madan Negi and their accomplices who had attacked at the residence of Raj Kumar Raju and damaged their car before the retaliation by the other group.
