Amritsar woman ‘paraded a top jeep’: Unknown cops booked

AMRITSAR: With the matter reaching the

high court

following public outrage,

Amritsar

police have registered a case against unknown cops who had conducted a raid at the house of a woman in Shehzada village and had allegedly roughed her up and paraded her while making her sit atop a police jeep.


The woman, Jaswinder Kaur, had sustained injuries after she had fallen off the vehicle in Chavinda Devi.

Police have registered an FIR under Section 323 (voluntarily

causing hurt

) of the IPC. Majitha DSP Nirlep Singh said police have also added Section 325 (punishment for voluntarily causing grievous hurt) of the IPC in the FIR.

The police had earlier registered an FIR registered against seven persons, including Jaswinder.

“How can they be unknown? Registration of an FIR against the woman and her relatives is a clear indication that police had gone there,” Jaswinder’s counsel Sandeep Grosi told TOI on Friday. He alleged that it should also be probed if a former district attorney and his son were accompanying the team of bureau of investigation during the raid on that day.

Kundan Singh, a relative of Jaswinder, alleged that there was a lawyer behind the incident.

Police evaded questions why names of the police personnel, who had gone to raid the house, were missing in the FIR. “We have been told to register the FIR according to the statement of the woman and she doesn’t know them by name,” said a police officer.

Meanwhile, chairperson of Punjab States Women Commission Manisha Gulati informed that the commission had already recorded the statement of the aggrieved woman.

She said the commission had summoned DSP Lakhwinder Singh, inspector Ravinder Singh and assistant sub-inspector Manohar Sharma at its office on October 4.
