Moga ASI Caught on Video Brutally Beating Former Soldier and Nephew
Moga (The Uttam Hindu): A shameful incident has come to light from village Dodhar Sarki of Moga district of Punjab, where a uniformed ASI openly indulged in hooliganism and brutally beat up a former soldier Ajeyab Singh and his nephew Mohan Singh with sticks. This ASI is Charanjit Singh posted in Moga SSP office, who misused his uniform and took the law in his own hands in a land dispute with his in-laws.
According to the information, there was a dispute going on between former soldier Ajayab Singh and Ranjit Singh for some time regarding land. On Thursday, when Ajayab Singh was getting soil removed from his land, Ranjit Singh protested, even though the land documents are in the name of Ajayab Singh. That day the village sarpanch had explained to both the parties, but on Friday the matter worsened again. When Ajayab Singh was returning home from his farm, Ranjit Singh, his wife and his son-in-law ASI Charanjit Singh were already waiting in ambush. The three together stopped Ajayab Singh and beat him fiercely with sticks. When Mohan Singh came to intervene after hearing the noise, he was also beaten badly with sticks.
The incident was recorded by passersby and locals on mobile cameras, which is rapidly going viral on social media. It can be clearly seen in the video that ASI Charanjit Singh is openly beating people while being in uniform. The injured have been admitted to Moga Civil Hospital, where they told the media that they are constantly receiving threats. Mohan Singh alleged that on Saturday night Charanjit Singh reached the hospital and threatened to kill him. When he tried to make a video of him, he ran away. Former soldier Ajeyab Singh says that I was getting soil removed from my land, when Ranjit Singh protested. When I was returning from the field, the ASI posted in uniform beat me with sticks in public. This is misuse of uniform. There is no right to keep such an officer in the job. He should be dismissed immediately. A complaint has been lodged in this case at the police station Badhni Kalan. Investigating officer ASI Jaswant Singh says that we have received a complaint of assault involving Ajeyab Singh, resident of village Dodhar Sarki, and his nephew Mohan Singh. Both are currently admitted in the hospital. Their statements are being recorded and the viral video is also being investigated. Whatever legal action is required will be taken.
