Amritsar: The daughter
of a Punjab Police officer, who was shot dead by a ruling Shiromani Akali Dal leader in full public view Wednesday, said she
would kill the accused if he is brought in front of her.
"Bring him before me. I will shoot and kill him like he did to my
helpless father. No one came to help us as he (the accused)
attacked us," the daughter of slain Assistant Sub-Inspector
Ravinder Pal Singh said here Thursday.
ASI Ravinder Pal Singh was allegedly shot dead by Ranjit Singh
Rana, a general secretary of the Amritsar district Akali Dal, and
his accomplices in Chheharta area on outskirts of the city after
he objected to his daughter being subjected their harassment
Wednesday. Rana had been stalking the ASI's daughter for the last
few days.
Sobbing continuously, the victim said that no one from the public
came to help her and her father as Rana continued to shoot and
assault them.
"After he shot at my father with his rifle, my father collapsed.
Rana then hit me and I fell on my father. He kept kicking and
hitting us in full public glare. I cried and pleaded for help but
everyone ran away. Even when the ambulance came, I had to lift my
father into it as no one came to help me," she said.
She said that the same gang, led by Rana had harassed her on Dec 1
also and she had complained to the nearby police station.
"However, no one listened. Had police acted on that day, my father
would have been alive today," she said.
About Wednesday's shooting, the victim said that after her father
confronted Rana and his accomplices, Rana took out a pistol and
shot her father in the leg. She also received gunshot wounds on
the hand.
"After that, he ran away and I rushed my father to the hospital in
my car. They came back with a rifle after some time and as my
father came out of the car, he (Rana) shot him. We didn't even
know him or had any enmity. I want justice," the victim said.
Rana and his accomplice were arrested Thursday for the ASI's
killing while two other men continued to elude police. The police
officer was in uniform when he was attacked by Rana.
Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Sumedh Singh Saini told
media here that police had swung into action immediately after
Wednesday's killing and arrested the main accused. Three weapons,
all licensed, were recovered from them.
