Abohar Killing

Absconding Shiv Lal Doda, the main accused in murder of a 27-year-old Dalit man in Abohar, has filed a bail application in local court in Fazilka, police said today.

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.

Punjab Police have issued a lookout circular against Akali leader and liquor baron Shiv Lal Doda and his nephew Amit Doda in the case of murder of a Dalit man in Abohar.

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.
