‘Bullet in stomach for 26 days’: Kin seek treatment of accused

Ludhiana: The kin of notorious criminal Aman Tattoo met the commissioner of police on Monday, seeking his treatment as “he has been living with a bullet in his stomach for the past 26 days”. They also sought FIR against the man who had opened fire at Aman.
Daba police had booked Aman and his two accomplices for firing at electronics store owner Ranjot Singh on July 1. It was alleged that Aman and his accomplices had gone to the store to extort money. However, Aman’s family claimed that it was a case of cross-firing, but the police booked only him.
His father Gurdeep Singh said, “On July 1, when Aman along with two others had gone to the store, Ranjot shot at him. A bullet hit Aman in stomach and is still inside his body. Aman had opened fire in retaliation. We also have the footage of the CCTV cameras. But the police did not lodge an FIR against Ranjot and arrested Aman.”
“For the past 26 days, the bullet is in the stomach of Aman. Rather than getting his treatment done, the police sent him to jail. On Saturday, the Daba police had brought Aman on a production warrant from the jail. They sent him back without getting him treated. Aman may get an infection because of the bullet,” he added.
The family approached commissioner of police Rakesh Agarwal, seeking a fair probe. “Aman got injured with Ranjot’s weapon and despite that police are not registering a case against him. Also, I have requested for Aman’s treatment. Agarwal has marked a probe to the assistant commissioner of police (Industrial Area-B),” he said.
ACP (Industrial Area-B) Randhir Singh said, “The senior medical officer’s report suggests not to operate Aman. According to the SMO, the bullet won’t harm him and the operation could be dangerous for him. In certain cases, a person can live with a bullet in the body without any complications.”
