Amritsar, May 12

The family members of a pregnant woman on Wednesday held a dharna over police inaction outside a police post here. A four months pregnant woman suffered miscarriage after several persons allegedly attacked her husband in the house over a minor issue. The family members alleged that the police were not taking any action as one of the suspects was a cop and his son was also involved in it.

Perturbed over this, the victim’s family members held a demonstration outside the Chheharta police chowki demanding the registration of a case against the suspects. The dharna was lifted after police officials assured them of filing a case in this regard.

The victim’s husband Kirpal Singh said he, along with his family, was having dinner last night when accused Jobanpreet Singh along with his parents, Sajan along with his family and their accomplices barged into their house and attacked them. He said they kicked his wife in the stomach which led to her miscarriage. She was under treatment at a private hospital.

He said a complaint was submitted by his brother Amritpal Singh to the Chheharta police chowki on Tuesday but no action was taken by the police. The police said investigation was under progress. — TNS
