The leaders also named a few SHOs including Makhan Singh and Tarsem Singh who they said were booking people recklessly in false cases at the instance of Congress legislators and leaders. Mr Bikram Majithia also brought two cases other than those pertaining to Gurdaspur parliamentary constituency to the notice of the DGP. He said a serving army jawan had been dispossessed of his land in Tarn Taran by supporters of Congress legislator Ramanjit Sikki. He said in another case a ward of a freedom fighter had been tortured in police custody for filing an application regarding encroachment of a pond in his village at the instance of Gidderbaha legislator Amarinder Raja Warring. He asked the DGP to ensure justice in both cases. DGP Suresh Arora gave a patient hearing to the SAD delegation and assured it that he would get all the 50 odd cases of Gurdaspur constituency which had been brought to his notice looked into immediately. —PTC News
