Player’s death: SHO shifted, SIT formed

Batala, Ghania-Ke-Bangar SHO Paramjit Singh, who was accused of inaction in the case of suicide by karate player Kuldeep Kaur, has been shifted to the Police Lines.
Opinderjit Singh Ghuman, SSP, said he had issued the transfer order to ensure a free and fair investigation in the case.
Satwant Singh, deceased’s brother, however, alleged that the transfer was a mere eyewash. “The SHO should have been terminated. A transfer has no meaning. He can still influence the inquiry. In October last year when a murder attempt was made on my mother, the SHO had come to our house in an inebriated condition and used foul language against the family members. I had immediately complained to the SSP, but no action was taken against him,” he alleged.
Earlier today, the police formed a three-member all-women special investigation team (SIT) to probe the case. IG (Border) Surinder Pal Singh Parmar said the SIT had been constituted after the deceased’s family accused the Batala police of inaction.
He said Amandeep Kaur, DSP (Headquarters), Amritsar rural, would head the SIT. Inspectors Palwinderjit Kaur of Gurdaspur and Bhupinder Kaur of Amritsar were the two members, he added.
Satwant Singh had yesterday alleged that cabinet minister Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa had snubbed his elder sister Balbir Kaur, when she met him in Chandigarh on October 24 last year. He alleged that Bajwa refused to help them by terming his family as “SAD loyalists”. Bajwa had denied the allegations.
