3 arrested for throwing man into canal

Ludhiana, September 11

The Jagraon police arrested three persons on the charge of throwing a man into a canal yesterday.

They have been identified as Inderjit Singh, Akashdeep Singh and Mandeep Singh, all residents of Sohia village. An attempt to murder case was registered against them at the Sadar Jagraon police station on Friday.

Complainant Tajinder Singh, a resident of Patti Gill, told the police that on September 8 Inderjit called him and invited for a party.

“When I came out of house Inderjit, along with Akashdeep, was standing on the road. They took me to the house of Mandeep where the accused offered me drink laced with some sedatives,” alleged the complainant.

They took him to the canal and pushed him into the water. He somehow managed to swim and came out of the water. “When Inderjit saw me, he again came close to me and tried to strangulate. The accused then fled from the spot,” he alleged. — TNS
