Chandigarh, December 11
Paramjit Singh Kainth, President of the National Scheduled Castes Alliance, today alleged that the Patiala police were discriminating against an SC family in a case of their “harassment” by landlords.
Addressing a press conference here, Kainth said: “In the home district of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, an SC family had been forced to leave their native Aatanla village. Rajpal, an SC student, was allegedly abducted by the landlord and was badly beaten up. At least two more relatives of the victim were beaten up in front of their family members.”
Kainth said: “We approached all top officials, including the SSP, but instead of helping the victim, the police have registered a case against them.”
SHO (Ghaghga) Gurcharan Singh said: “No one has approached us. I am aware about the case details. We are perusing the matter as per merit.” — TNS
