Murderous Assault on Maj GS Benipal (Retd)

Dear All,
1. All ESM organisation and members are requested to give wide publicity of these News items publised in Tribune & HT to your dear and near in India and abroad to expose the atrocities on ESM in Punjab and to all the media in all the states.
2. Write to the MPs & MLA of the central and state Govt if you are close to them, so that this becomes a feeler to all, that ESM are united throughout INDIA. At least this much can be contributed to convey our solidarity to Major GS Benipal.
3. The SSP and DC have become impotent in Punjab as Dy CM directly controls SHO's.
Regards,
Col CJS Khera (Retd)

Dear Veterans,
Consolidated and sincere efforts made by ex-services community in Punjab has brought the good results in the above case. One of the main accused, Simarjit Singh Bains has surrendered to Police after the police detained his elder brother Balwinder Singh Bains.
Governor Punjab, Gen (Retd) SF Rodrigues has also sought a detailed report on the above case from the State Govt. It is, reliably, learnt that the Governor has been asked to submit his report on this episode by the Home Deptt. Government of India on the instance of this organization's communiqué submitted to Secy Home Deptt with copy to Governor Punjab along with others.
But the battle is neither won nor over as yet. Veterans have to keep their guns ready and powder dry till the justice is delivered to our brother veteran, Maj GS Benipal.
With best regards,
Sgt Prabhjot Singh Chhatwal PLS (Retd)
President.

LUDHIANA: The entire act of defending the SAD councillor, Simarjeet Singh Bains received a major setback on Monday, following the supplementary statement of the victim, Gurinder Singh Benipal, who accused the leader of a murderous attempt on his life.

Earlier, Bains was booked under Section 120b for criminal conspiracy in the attack on the sub-registrar in his office in Gill village on June 19. Now, in wake of the recent statement of the victim, grievous sections are expected to be slapped against the leader.

"In my supplementary statement given to the police, I have informed the police as to how Bains, who was accompanying Karwal had attacked me with a big lathi on my eye, repeatedly saying that he would kill me," informed Benipal, while talking to TOI, expressions of anger and pain writ large on his face.

Benipal, who has still not been able to come out of the shock in wake of the brutal attack on him, said, "I will not be relieved until justice is done and the perpetrators, Bains and Karwal are punished for their act. I am not concerned with over dozen other names in the FIR, as the real accused are only Karwal and Bains."

In the meanwhile, SHO Sadar Mandeep Singh was suspended on Monday and in a way, the entire responsibility of the failure of police machinery was thrusted upon him. Though, confirming the move, DIG SS Chauhan gave an entirely different reason for his suspension. He said, "The SHO has been removed following complaints that he was giving VIP treatment to the accused in the case. A departmental inquiry has been initiated against him, so as to verify the facts."

On being asked about the statement of Benipal and the action taken on it by the police, the DIG said, "As the statement has been made now, and not at the time of the incident, we will verify facts and then take a suitable action on the same."

It would be pertinent to mention here that in a widely criticised, ghastly incident of violence, sub-registrar Gurinder Singh Benipal was attacked by SAD councillors including Kamaljeet Singh Karwal and certain other accomplices in his office on Friday.

Despite booking some two-dozen persons, including Karwal and Simarjeet Singh Bains, it was only Karwal, who had surrendered, whereas Bains was moving scott-free much to the chagrin of the victim and other officials of the department.

DGP visit
Injured sub-registrar Gurinder Singh Benipal on Friday got an assurance of justice by DGP KPS Gill, who dropped at the Dayanand Medical College and Hospital to see him on Sunday evening. Terming the attack as an unfortunate incident, Gill said there were democratic ways of getting complaints against any officer redressed and no one had right to attack any officer and his dignity, like this.
