| After show: elder dies on way to hospital as cops beat son to pulp | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 13: After the ‘Jazzi B’ music show flopped late last night, it was the show of naked brutality unleashed by Police which claimed life of a heart patient and left his son with multiple fractures.
Following complaints of heart congestion and chest pain an elderly city resident Kuldeep Singh was being rushed to the Government Medical College Hospital late last night when their vehicle (1495 JKO2V) was stopped by a Flying Squad of Nawabad Police Station near Jewel Chowk. This was the time when cops of Jammu and Punjab Police were fighting their dingdong battles with scores of youths after disruption of the now infamous musical show at nearly MA Stadium.
Kuldeep Singh’s son Gurpreet Singh says he was driving the vehicle when Jammu cops stopped them and took away keys. “We even cried while pleading before the cops to let us go to hospital but they did not hear any”, says Gurpreet. On further insistence, the cops started beating up attendants of the patient and left Gurpreet with multiple injuries. The patient was allegedly thrown out of the vehicle which was driven by the cops to Nawabad Police station.
“I was rushing my father to GMC hospital as he was complaining of heart pain when some policemen who were under the influence of liquor intercepted me and without reason they started beating me though I apprised them about the condition of my father. They beat me and after throwing us on road in a pool of blood and took my vehicle to Nowabad police station”, victim Gurpreet Singh informed.
Gurpreet told Early Times that some passersby helped them reach the Medical College Hospital but by that time it was too late. The ailing Kuldeep Singh, a retired Engineer, was declared by the doctors as having brought dead.
A frustrated Gurpreet rushed to Revenue minister Raman Bhalla’s residence at midnight. Bhalla intervened into the matter and made call to DIG Farooq Khan and asked him to take stern action against the erring cops. DIG conducted an inquiry and ordered suspension of one erring cop and termination to ex serviceman.
However, Raman Bhalla minister for Revenue and Relief has condemned police action. Accusing organizers of the show he said that it was the fault of administration which took the shape of protest and further police’s atrocities is highly condemnable. Panthers Party Chief Professor Bhim Singh talking to Early Times over phone condemned police action and told that he had apprised the matter to Dr Farooq Abdullah, Union Minister for Renewable Energy who assured proper inquiry. He said that he was going to file a case against police which at the helm of the affairs has proved negligent and corrupt.
