Former Punjab DGP Shashi Kant claims abduction bid; joins AAP
All India | Press Trust of India | Updated: January 10, 2014 23:54 IST
Chandigarh: Former Punjab DGP Shashi Kant claimed that some policemen tried to abduct him this morning when he was going to the Aam Aadmi Party's office in Fatehgarh Sahib to join the outfit.
Later in the day, the former Director General of Police (Prison) joined AAP at his residence in the presence of senior leaders of the outfit.
Mr Kant alleged that some police personnel in civil uniforms made an unsuccessful attempt to abduct him when he came out of his residence in Sector 18 of the city this morning for being vocal against drug rackets in the state.
He said he immediately called the Police Control Room (PCR), after which personnel from Chandigarh police rushed to the spot and rounded up at least five persons.
The former DGP (Prison) alleged that he was continuously being "pressurised" by Punjab police after he had been vocal about drug nexus in the state.
He alleged that politicians from major political parties, including Akali Dal and Congress, in the state and certain senior policemen were "patronising" drug mafias.
Mr Kant late this evening joined the AAP in the presence of senior leaders of the newly-floated party.
Meanwhile, Chandigarh Police looked into the matter and found that four members of an unarmed investigation team had gone to Sector 18 area in connection with an ongoing investigation pertaining to Mohali district.
"They were duly examined by Chandigarh Police and it was concluded that there was no 'kidnapping plan' of any kind whatsoever as apprehended by Shashi Kant," a police officer said.
However, the complaint submitted by Mr Kant was dismissed as the accusations in it were unfounded, the officer said.
Speaking on the matter, Chandigarh SSP Sukhchan Singh Gill said Mr Kant's complaint had been found to be wrong.
Two senior police officers visited Mr Kant at his residence and reminded him that he had been provided with two PSOs from Punjab Security Wing. They told the former DGP, if he has any such apprehensions in future, he or his PSOs should contact the Security Wing, police sources said.
Meanwhile, Punjab Congress Chief Partap Singh Bajwa condemned the alleged attempt by police personnel to abduct Mr Kant.
In a statement, he said the incident was "shocking and uncalled for". He alleged that ruling SAD leaders were frightened after the name of Mr Majithia had came to the fore in the synthetic drug racket.
Mr Bajwa said Congress had taken up the issue of drugs in Punjab and started a state-wide agitation demanding a CBI inquiry into the drug racket.
He said Mr Kant had also prepared a list of political leaders and police officers who are running drug mafia in Punjab. "He (Kant) had feared threat to his life from the ruling party," Mr Bajwa said.
The Congress leader said Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal, who holds the home portfolio, owed an explanation on the issue of kidnapping attempt of Mr Kant.
He said this incident had endorsed the stand of Congress that Punjab police could not probe the drug racket, being under the influence of the ruling SAD-BJP government.

CHANDIGARH, Punjab (January 11, 2014)—Self styled president of All India Sikh Students Federation, Bhai Karnail Singh Peer Mohammad and renowned Sikh lawyer H.S. Phoolka, a senior advocate of Indian apex court, have decided to join the Aam Admi Party (AAP). As per a statement made by both Sikhs, they were joining Aam Aadmi Party with ambition of saving the country from corruption and morality downfall.


They also said that they would fill the membership form of AAP after performing Ardass at Sri Harmandar Sahib, Sri Amritsar.


It is notable that Advocate Phoolka has been struggling for seeking justice for victims of the Sikh Genocide of 1984 on the legal front but he is known as an Indian nationalist, whereas Karnail Singh Peer Mohammad is a self styled president of AISSF. However, later has participated in 1984 justice campaigns with the collaboration of US based Sikh advocacy group Sikhs for Justice.


Although not a Sikh, DGP Shashi Kant who has supported Sikh causes in past has also expressed desire of joining the Aam Aadmi Party. DGP Shashi Kant came into the news recently for supporting the cause of Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa. His role was well appreciated in release of the four Sikhs. He recently blamed the Punjab Police for trying to abduct him from his home in Chandigarh.

    • Hi All, I havent been on this forum for a while but I thought id give it a try again as it helped me through some rough times earlier in my life. I wanted to seek for guidance on sikhi and marriage ... I noticed a post earlier on sanjog etc. and it got me thinking about my own life and marriage. For context, I have been married 3 years and things are not working out. When we met, I looked in to sanjog alot and it felt like it was written. However, as these years have gone by its become apparent that we no longer align with each other and our marriage is struggling. We dont seem to understand each other and things have fallen apart. We are at a stage now where separation/divorce is looking like the best option. Neither of us are happy and whilst we have tried to work things through in many different ways, after 3 years we have drifted away. What are the sikh views on this? is it written if we decide that we no longer serve each other? or is that a sin and should I continue to work at it? my issue at the moment is that it is draining me. I feel withdrawn from everything due to things going on between us including sikhi and going to the gurdwara.  Breaks my heart to even be writing this but I do think if we are both not happy and cant see a way of being happy then what is the point in continuing? Or should I be continuing and is it paap if we dont honour our laavan? if that is the case, what does sikhi say about marriage? how do I continue knowing everyday I feel the way I do?   Thanks
