Abohar Attack

Several Punjab BJP leaders on Sunday staged a sit-in outside the official residence of Chief Minister Amarinder Singh here to protest against the attack on party legislator from Abohar in Muktsar.

The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) on Sunday asked Punjab Police to provide security to family members of Bhim Sain and Gurjant Singh Janta who were attacked allegedly by henchmen of liquor baron and Akali leader Shiv Lal Doda in Abohar, leading to the former's death.

Gurjant Singh, the man whose one hand and a leg were chopped off at a farmhouse in Punjab's Abohar, has alleged that his attackers were ordered to kill him and his friends by Akali Dal leader Shiv Lal Doda to "teach us a lesson."

Amit Doda, nephew of Akali leader Shiv Lal Doda and co-accused in the Dalit murder case in Punjab's Abohar has surrendered before the police today.

Twenty "deep injury" marks were found on the body of a Dalit man who died after his limbs were cut off at a farmhouse in Punjab allegedly owned by an Akali Dal leader, said a member of the doctors' team that conducted the autopsy.

Taking cognisance of the killing of a man belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC) community at Abohar, Punjab State Commission for Scheduled Castes today summoned Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Crime, and also asked the state government to transfer the case to a fast-track court.

Three more persons have been arrested in connection with the alleged murder of a 27-year-old Dalit man, whose limbs were chopped off by suspected henchmen of a liquor baron in Abohar.

Rajya Sabha proceedings were repeatedly stalled on Monday morning by protests over a brutal murder in Punjab's Abohar at a farm house allegedly owned by a leader of the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal.

Abohar in Punjab's Fazilka district was marred with protests and a near shutdown after limbs of two men were chopped off on Saturday at a farmhouse allegedly owned by a leader of the ruling Akali Dal.
