Faridkot, October 29
In the nine-month-old case of three deaths in Faridkot in which a person had died by suicide after killing his two children and a criminal case was registered against the brother-in-law of a Congress leader, the wife of the deceased today gave her consent to the cancellation report, presented by the police in the case.
Even an NGO which had approached the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Faridkot, on October 8 to oppose the police move of filing the cancellation report in the case to help the politically influential accused also agreed to withdraw the protest application.
On September 17, the Faridkot police had moved an application in the court here, seeking cancellation of the FIR in the case. The court had summoned the brother and wife of the deceased for their statement in view of police’s cancellation report.
While the brother of the deceased had given his consent to the police move on October 8, the wife gave a similar statement in the court today. However, a fresh application was filed by Akali leader Parambans Singh Romana in the court today, seeking the copy of the untraced or cancellation reports filed by the police so as to file detailed objections for further investigation.
It is alleged on February 6, Karan Kataria, a Faridkot resident, had killed his two children in sleep before dying by suicide. As per the FIR, it is alleged that Dimpy Vinayak, a close relative of a Congress leader, had extorted Rs 1.22 crore from the deceased.
