PATIALA: Following the re-initiation of motion towards four SPs of Punjab police in a 2012 patwari harassment case, victim Mohan Singh Bedpur on Saturday raised questions towards the failure of the SGPC and the Akal Takht in getting him justice.
Mohan said being a Sikh he had approached the SGPC and the Akal Takht and narrated the injustice meted out to him for challenging executive price of Rs 20 from SSP Shiv Kumar Sharma to provide the land data of his houses in Rurki village of Fatehgarh Sahib district. Following this, he used to be allegedly implicated in a corruption case concerning a paddy scam in Punjab State Civil Supplies Corporation (Punsup) and used to be arrested and tortured in police custody throughout which a constable used to be asked to sodomise him. He had spent 5 days in police custody. All this used to be performed allegedly at the behest of Shiv Kumar Sharma and the opposite officers indicted via a probe performed via PPCB chairman Ok S Pannu.
After his pleas with the apex gurdwara governing frame and absolute best temporal seat of the Sikhs, SGPC secretary had asked the head granthi of Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib Harpal Singh to behavior a probe and put up a record. Mohan said the head granthi held interactions with citizens of Rurki village and also met probably the most policemen and later submitted a record confirming that he have been tortured and implicated in a false case via the police.
The 5 high monks of all Takhts then met at the Akal Takht to talk about the subject and asked the SGPC to get justice for Mohan. On February 18, 2013, secretary, SGPC, wrote a letter to the manager secretary of Punjab executive that proper motion must be initiated towards the accused for having violated the religious and human rights of Mohan. “However, the subject used to be put on the again burner and regardless of raising the issue with the Akal Takht jathedar and many times assembly the SGPC presidents (Avtar Singh Makkar and Kirpal Singh Badungar), all my pleas went unheard,” he alleged.
He contended that the SGPC always claimed that it could struggle for the rights of Sikhs settled all across the globe, nevertheless it failed in combating for the rights of a Sikh in their own state even if the government used to be that of SAD-BJP. “It used to be the duty of the SGPC and the Akal Takht to be sure that motion used to be taken towards the accused. I wish to ask the SGPC and jathedar of the Takht how come a re-investigation into the clean chit given to the accused has now been ordered via the brand new executive and why they failed in appearing their duties,” contended Mohan.
Earlier, an inquiry performed via Pannu had indicted six police officials in the case. Recently, following a record submitted via IG Ferozepur Gurwinder Singh Dhillon, further fees underneath Sections 377, 511, 211, 295-A, 120 B had been added to the 2012 FIR that used to be registered towards the accused cops on the orders of the then chief minister, Prakash Singh Badal.
