Amritsar: A leader of
Punjab's ruling Shiromani Akali Dal and an accomplice were
arrested Thursday for allegedly killing a police official who had
objected to them harassing his daughter, police here said.
Police Commissioner Ram Singh said the main accused, Ranjit Singh
Rana, was arrested from the border belt of Amritsar district
Thursday morning along with another accused. Rana had been
stalking assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Ravinder Pal Singh's
daughter for the last few days.
Two other accused in the killing of Ravinder Pal are absconding,
police said.
The ASI was allegedly shot dead by Rana and his accomplices after
he objected to his daughter being subjected their harassment
Wednesday.
The incident took place near the Chhehrata police station, on the
outskirts of Amritsar city, 250 km from the state capital
Chandigarh.
Ravinder Pal's daughter had complained that some youth used to
harass her. The ASI objected to this and confronted the youth.
Following an argument, Rana fired at him and his daughter and left
them injured.
Eyewitnesses told the police later that Rana and his accomplices
came back to the spot in a jeep later and shot at the ASI in the
chest from close range.
Ravinder Pal was rushed to a private hospital where he was
declared dead.
The Akali Dal expelled Rana, who is a general secretary of the
district unit of the party.
District unit president U.S. Sandhu said that Rana was inducted
into the party September this year and had now been expelled.
