LUDHIANA:
A ‘granthi’ (gurdwara priest) was killed and six others were injured in
a clash between two families over a stray animal at Mehbipur village in
Machhiwara, around 40km from Ludhiana, on Sunday morning.
The
deceased had been identified as 20-year-old Gurdeep Singh. The incident
took place when Gurdeep was collecting milk from houses for the
gurdwara on his cycle. He was hit by rods and sticks when he tried to
intervene in the clash. He died on way to the Post Graduate Institute of
Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh.
The police have booked nine people, including seven of a family, for murder.
Gurdeep’s
father Chanan Singh said one Budh Singh had abandoned his cow a few
days ago and it used to roam around his brother Nirmal Singh’s house and
used to defecate there. Nirmal had objected to this and had asked Budh
to take away the cow, but to no avail.
On
Sunday, Nirmal and his family members went to Budh’s house with a
complaint where both the families entered into an argument leading to
the clash. Chanan said when Gurdeep tried intervene, he was allegedly
attacked by Budh and his family members. Chanan’s relative Sucha Singh,
who was injured in the clash, was referred to Rajindra Hospital,
Patiala.
Machhiwara station house officer
Amardeep Singh said the police have booked Budh Singh, his family
members Sucha Singh, Malkit Singh, Balwinder Singh, Hardeep Singh,
Gurmeet Kaur, Bachchan Kaur and two others for murder. The accused are
on the run.

better than their government.
In this interview with The Punch, the APC leader describes the president
as a failure, adding that it is the tradition of any political party to
make its mark from the first year and the second year in power.
