Ludhiana, October 16, 2014: Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission Chairman Rajesh Bagha today visited the family of Jamalpur Shootout victims at their house in Bhoapur village near Machhiwara and handed over a cheque worth Rs 2.5 lakh as compensation. This cheque has been handed over to the family on behalf of the Punjab Government.
Bagha, who was accompanied by other Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission members said that the remaining Rs 7.5 lakh will also be handed over to the family shortly. The State Government had announced a grant of Rs 10 lakh (Rs 5 lakh each) to the family of victims of Jamalpur Shootout.
In his more than an hour long meeting, Bagha assured the family members that they would get justice. "An ADGP who is heading the inquiry would submit the report with the Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission on October 29. Once the report is submitted, we would show it to the family members and if they are not satisfied with the report, a fresh inquiry would be ordered," he said while speaking to mediapersons today.
Assuring victims father Satpal Singh, Rajesh Bagha said that they would also write to the state government that his daughter be provided government job. "Besides this, we have also asked the Khanna SSP for providing security to the family," he said.
Bagha was accompanied by Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission members Bharti Kennedy, Dalip Singh Pandhi and District Welfare Officer Rajinder Kumar, besides others.
Later, Rajesh Bagha and Bharti Kennedy met Police Commissioner, Ludhiana, Promod Ban and ADCP Harmohan Singh Sandhu at Circuit House, over the suicide case relating to Dr Supriya, an MD student of Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, here. During the meeting, Bagha inquired about the case in detail and directed the police commissioner to speed up the inquiry so that truth comes out at the earliest.
While speaking to mediapersons after the meeting, Bagha said that the Police Commissioner has been ordered to complete the inquiry soon. He said that if the police finds about the role of any doctor who had pressurised Dr Supriya which led to her suicide, we would take strict action against them.
