LIQUOR seizure MATTER
Bholath, January 14
An FIR has been registered against SAD candidate from Bholath Bibi Jagir Kaur following a complaint by her Congress candidate Sukhpal Khaira. The FIR relates to the seizure of 183 cases of liquor from a tempo at Talwandi village here last evening.
Kapurthala SSP SS Mann said the FIR had been registered at Begowal police station under Sections 171, 506 and 188 of the IPC and Section 123 of the Representation of People's Act.
Opposing the registration of the FIR, Jagir Kaur, a former SGPC chief, too, lodged her complaint with Bholath election observer Arvind Janu. Terming the FIR as false, she demanded its immediate cancellation. The election observer has forwarded her complaint to the SSP with a note that read: "The petition may be inquired into and due legal action may be taken immediately".
Mann said the matter was being investigated by Begowal SHO. While Khaira alleged that the liquor was meant for distribution among the voters at Jagir Kaur's behest, the latter claimed the police had registered a false FIR against her and her kin "under pressure" from the sitting MLA.
Jagir Kaur contended that liquor contractor Yadvinder Singh was running 10 vends in the area and was shifting the consignment from his Kuka vend to Talwandi vend after taking oral permission from the ETO. Yadvinder Singh claimed that he had all the valid documents and proof, which were shown to the ETO and other officers present there, but they “still registered the case under political pressure”.
