s s jhamka Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 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.
