Police looking for another woman

PATIALA: The police are in search of a woman Kuldeep Kaur alias Chhindo of village Gagewal near Bhadaur who used to come to meet Gursewak Singh Babla, a terrorist who recently escaped from the police custody in Delhi.
A party of Delhi police is camping here in search of Kuldeep Kaur while the Punjab police had already launched a manhunt to locate this woman.
Sources in the police claim that Kulwant Kaur, who is now in the custody of Delhi police, and Chhindo — a close relative of Kulwant — used to meet Babla in Nabha jail under fake names.
A senior police officer claimed that an assistant jail superintendent Raj Kumar Verma was allegedly facilitating their meeting even though he was aware that the women were concealing their identity.
A case was registered against these three persons at Nabha police station and Kulwant Kaur was earlier arrested and sent to the jail in the same case.
The assistant jail superintendent has not been arrested yet.
SSP A S Rai disclosed that the police were bringing all the facts on record found against him and then he would be arrested.
Meanwhile, the police have made it clear that Karam Chand, an assistant sub inspector of police, had no role in the Babla escape case. Karam Chand, posted at Dakala Chowki, is husband of Kulwant Kaur, the woman arrested by the Delhi police in Babla case.
Talking to the TNN, SSP Rai said that Kulwant Kaur was Karam Chand''s second wife.
Karam Chand used to take Babla to the courts for appearance in different cases and Kulwant Kaur developed relations with him, Rai added. According to Rai, this was known to Karam Chand, but she never bothered about it.
He said that after thorough investigation the police had found no involvement of Karam Chand in this case. Rai disclosed that Kulwant Kaur, who belonged to village Ghaggar Sarai of this district, had met Babla a day before his escape near bus stand when he was taken to Patiala to be produced in a Delhi court.
He claimed that the police had proof that she had provided him an amount of Rs. 3500. Rai said that this fact was known to the members of police party which brought him to the Sadar police station from Nabha jail and kept him in the police station here before being produced him in a Delhi court.
He said that all the policemen involved in this case had already been dismissed from service.
