Times News Network
Ludhiana: The Vigilance Bureau on Tuesday arrested PAU police station assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Gurjit Singh for accepting a bribe of Rs 28,000.
Shamsher Singh of Raipur Majri village in Fatehgarh Sahib said in his complaint, “My daughter, Ramandeep Kaur, is married in Birmi village, Ludhiana.
On April 24, Sukhwinder Kaur, her sister Sandeep Kaur, aunt Jasbir Kaur and relative Mandeep Singh barged into Ramandeep’s house and thrashed her with sticks and rods. My daughter lodged a complaint with police, but no action was taken.”
“ASI Gurjit Singh kept delaying action on the pretext of curfew duty. On May 31, police lodged an FIR under bailable sections. My daughter had submitted her medical legal report and proof of trespassing, but the ASI refused to add non-bailable sections. He then sought Rs 70,000 for adding more sections to the FIR. The deal was later struck at Rs 68,000, which were to be paid in two installments,” he added.
