  1. Cop suspended for ‘excesses’ Tribune News Service Bathinda, October 17 Following the allegations of “police excesses†by the kin of Popi Singh, who died after sustaining serious injuries in a brawl with employees of a liquor vend at Jeewansinghwala village a few days ago, the SSP has placed ASI Phulveer Singh under suspension. Demanding strict action against the policemen concerned, residents of Jeewansinghwala, Chathewala, Naseebpura, Tarkhanwala and Bhagi Bandar villages staged a protest outside the SSP office. The kin of the deceased alleged that on the fateful night of October 13 when the liquor vend employees were beating up Popi and his friend the police “instead of stopping them also joined them in their violent actâ€. They alleged that the police then took them to the police station thus delaying their treatment. Though the police had registered a case of murder against two employees of the liquor vend - Jasbir Singh and Maghi Ram, the protesters sought similar action against the policemen present on the spot. The SSP, Mr Varinder Kumar, said he had asked the SP (D) to hold a thorough probe into the matter and submit a report.

  2. “Probe killings†by cops during terrorism Tribune News Service http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20061018/cth1.htm#7 Chandigarh, October 17 Khalra Mission Organisation, a Sikh rights body, on Sunday claimed that National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has lost its credibility on the issue of extending relief to the kin of “unidentified†persons allegedly cremated secretively by police in Punjab during terrorism. The NHRC should have mentioned what action it recommended against the policemen who committed these killings and got away with it, said the organisation at a press conference hereon Sunday. The compensation has been awarded to only the kin of 1051 unidentified persons while a list of 2097 such unidentified bodies was handed over by human rights activists Jaswant Singh Khalra more than 10 years ago. The Commission was supposed to protect the dignity of all human beings, said the Patron of the organization Mr Dalbir Singh, J.S. Khalra’s wife Paramjit Kaur and human rights activist Justice (retd) Ajit Singh Bains
  3. 5 more students join fast Tribune News Service http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20061018/punjab2.htm#20 Patiala, October 17 Five more students, who were affected by the decision of Punjabi University, Patiala, to abolish the research work of M.Phil, today joined the ongoing fast being observed by the activists of the Sikh Student Federation (SSF) at its main gate. They are lodging their protest against the closure of M. Phil and some other research courses by the university. Mr Jasdip Singh, Mr Sarbvir Singh, Mr Nirpesh Singh, Mr Tehinder Singh and Nirmal Singh, who completed their masters in religious studies and comparative studies in religion informed mediapersons that their final semester result was unduly delayed by the university. This action had resulted in the loss of one academic year for them as they could not get admission in other universities for doing M. Phil due to delayed declaration of the results. Mr Kamaljit Singh, press secretary, SSF, in a press note issued here said that Punjabi University authorities had circulated a notice to all the departments as well as hostels directing the students to stay away from agitating students. He said Mr Mandhir Singh, president, SSF, said that in most of previous students agitations the Punjabi University authorities blamed that students were not willing to resolve the matter by amicable means or they were non-serious or wanted to create disturbance. But this time the students worked through the proper channel as they made representations to the Vice-Chancellor office, Dean Students Welfare Office, Dean Academic affairs and to the Governor of Punjab and all these attempts failed to bring any positive results.
