Neighbour objects to loud music, beaten up by four women

A woman was attacked by a neighbour, along with three other women, when she objected to playing of loud music by her in Jagraon.

The victim lodged a complaint and an FIR was registered against the suspects.

They were identified as Gurpreet Kaur, a resident of Golden Bagh, Kacha Malik Road, Jagraon, Ramandeep Kaur, Prabhjot Kaur and Kato, who are also residents of Golden Bagh, Jagraon.

The complainant, Sonia Rani, native of Haryana, at present staying in the Kacha Malak Road area told the police that Gurpreet Kaur, a resident of Golden Bagh, Kacha Malk Road, Jagraon, lives in front of her house. She keeps a loudspeaker on her main gate from 4 am till late hours daily and plays loud music on it.

“I told her many times to keep the speaker volume low as I am facing health issues. I had also told my landlord Sandeep Kumar and a few neighbours about the matter. My landlord also called Gurpreet Kaur’s son Avneet Singh, who stays in Canada, and informed him about the issue. He was also told that she did not turn off the speaker even when she leaves the house,” he said.

Whenever she asks her to turn off the speaker or turn down the volume, the woman would get angry and abuse her. On November 7 morning, she, along with her neighbours Ashok Kumar Gaba, his wife Babli Gaba and Neelam, went to the woman to tell her to stop playing loud music every day. Afterwards, Gurpreet Kaur called Ramandeep Kaur, his daughter Prabhjot Kaur and a girl working at Ramandeep Kaur’s house, Kato. They started arguing with the victim and beat her up, the complainant said.

Sonia Rani said later, she lodged a police complaint and on Saturday, the Jagraon city police registered a case against the suspects.

ASI Balraj Singh said after registering a case against the four assailants, further investigation was launched in the case.
