No incident of misbehaviour with women near village Kurad: Haryana Govt

Chandigarh, February 24, 2016: Haryana Government today denied the media reports that appeared in a section of the press stating that some persons behaved indecently with some women who were travelling in cars near village Kurad in district Sonepat.
While stating this here today, an official spokesman said that Principal Secretary Mr Devender Singh and Inspector General of Police Mr Paramjit Ahlawat who visited the spot and interacted with the people including those whose names were mentioned in the media reports, said that no such incident had occurred. He said that the former Sarpanch of Kurad, Mr Bijender Singh has also refuted that any such incident had occurred. He clarified that when some youth broke window panes of a few cars, some women who were seated inside the vehicles were injured. Such families were given shelter by the villagers in their own homes and gave them first aid and food. The media reports to this effect are totally false, misleading and not based on facts.
The spokesman urged the media to exercise restraint and cooperate with the administration to restore normalcy in the State.
He said that nobody would be allowed to take law in his own hands. He made it clear that there was no shortage of force in the State as the personnel of the police and paramilitary force have been deputed along the national highway and the district./ (SK Vyas, Jalandhar)
