Abohar, October 29

Relatives of a deceased school student, Komal, today staged a protest by burning an effigy of the state government and raised slogans against the police administration.

The protesters said 18-year-old Komal, a Class XI government school student in nearby Dharampura village, was killed and his body was thrown into a canal nine months back. A case was registered at the Wahabwala police station but no arrest was made. For the past three months, his family has been staging a dharna outside the office of the DSP (Rural) demanding action, but to no avail.

The deceased’s father, Mahavir, said Komal was kidnapped by some unknown persons and thrown into a canal. A murder case was registered but the culprits were free.

The police said some people were questioned but the suspects were yet to be identified.
