Witnesses approve of minister's sons hand in scuffle

LUDHIANA: Even as the dispute over the Minister for Prisons, Malkiat Singh Birmi’s sons involvement in the scuffle at the Sarabhanagar remains a controversy, and the ministers autocratic role is once again being condemned widely, four different eye witnesses have come forth against all that the minister has put his stakes on.
Interestingly, all four are women.Two different pairs. One, which happened to be shopping at the market and another pair at the Sarabhanagar police station the same night, where they had gone to get their cars released.
These women have approached the TNN and say they are ready to give their statements in the magisterial inquiry as well.
Sonia Dhillon, a social worker was at Sarabhanagar market along with Sharanjit, owner of a showroom in Ghumar Mandi on the evening before the Dusshera, when the brawl had initiated. Sonia reminisces how five odd youth, including Vivek, son of the local Councilor, K L Chabbra had used abusive language for the SHO, Inspector, Sandeep Wadhera and his men at the market.
She explained that some of the boys had been misbehaving with the public at the market, and when the police had tried to stop them, Vivek had pulled over his car to try and help out his friends.
Sharanjit says he had shouted, "Tenu pata nahin mein kaun han" (You have no idea, who I am). He says another one added to the SHO, "Tun bahut badee galtee kar reha hain" (You are making a big mistake).
Another two women, Dimple Kapoor, who owns a restaurant near CMC hospital and Baljinder Kaur, a Housewife had visited the police station, Sarabhanagar to get their lost car’s insurance claim papers signed they explain.
Dimple said, "we were waiting for the SHO for the past fifteen minutes when suddenly a bunch of these angry youth rushed into the Munshi’s office. The two women explain that it seemed they had already had a brawl with the police somewhere, and what occurred was in continuation of it. They were surprised at how the boys swore at the policemen in abusive language.
She added that one of them had said to the Munshi, Mohan Lal, tun tan suspended haan, tun zaada na bol. Tun kisdey naal gal kar reha hain tenu pata nahin (You are suspended, so quit talking. You have no idea, who you are dealing with here).
Baljinder says, another one had threatened, "Thodeeyan naukarian gayian, tusi tan sade dara ten aakey nak ragdhoge" (You have lost your jobs and you would have to come to our homes and apologize most humbly).
She says later the a man in white safari suit had come inside, who she learnt was Chabbra, the councilor. She says when the policemen had tried to apprise them of his son and friends outrageous behaviour, the councilor had replied, "ameera de puttar enak kujh taan karan ge hee." (Rich sons will indulge in this much atleast)
