Amritsar Police on Thursday arrested Shiromani Akali Dal leader
Ranjit Singh Rana and an accomplice on charges of killing Assistant
Sub-Inspector Ravinder Pal Singh after he had objected to them harassing
his daughter.
Police Commissioner Ram Singh said Rana was
arrested from the border belt of Amritsar district on Thursday morning
along with another accused.
Rana had been stalking Ravinder Pal
Singh's daughter for the last few days. Two other accused in the killing
of Ravinder Pal are absconding.
The incident took place on
Wednesday afternoon near the Chhehrata police station, which is on the
outskirts of Amritsar city, 250 km from 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.
Witnesses
said Rana and his accomplices came back to the spot in a jeep later and
shot Ravinder Pal Singh in the chest from close range.
The latter 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. (ANI)
