Complainant Amritpal Singh Bedi of Khalsa Enclave, Phagwara, states that he jointly owns an ancestral house in Mohalla Bhagatpura. The property is jointly owned with Kamaljit Singh. The house had been rented out to a tenant, who reportedly complained that Kamaljit Singh, his son Mandir Pal Singh Bedi and daughter-in-law Sahjpreet Kaur had been harassing him and pressuring him to vacate the premises. When Amritpal questioned Kamaljit, Mandir, and Sahjpreet about it, they entered into argument with him. The argument escalated, leading to a physical altercation during which Amritpal was allegedly assaulted.
