The National Commission for Minorities (NCM) chairman wrote to the Director General of Police (DGP), Uttar Pradesh, asking him to conduct a fair investigation into the case of an attack on a Sikh man in the State. According to reports, the victim was thrashed at the behest of a local Bharatiya Janata Party corporator and is admitted in hospital under critical conditions.
In his letter to the DGP-UP, chairman NCM, Iqbal Singh Lalpura, stated that he had received a representation from Guneet Kaur, wife of Amol Deep Singh, and she alleged that her husband was attacked by some persons in Kanpur while she was travelling in the car with her husband. She was molested and her brother-in law was tortured in the presence of local police.
“When they reached the Police Station, the persons responsible for this crime were also there,” the complainant told NCM.
