Arjuna awardee DSP accused of assault

GEETIKA DENIES CHARGE, SAYS SHE HAD GONE TO THE HOUSE TO RESOLVE ISSUE OF OWNERSHIP WHEN SHE WAS ATTACKED

Fatehabad DSP and Arjuna awardee wrestler Geetika Jakhar has landed in a controversy after she allegedly went to her uncle’s house in a police vehicle and got into a quarrel with the inmates over some property dispute in Agroha town of Hisar.

Her uncle Prakash Veer Singh said, “We had lodged a complaint before the Agroha police against Geetika and others but police are yet to register a case. Geetika, her brother Balram Jakhar (who is a naib tehsildar posted at Bhattu in Fatehabad), and others came to our residence on the night of August 26 and assaulted the family members,” Singh said, adding that he had written to Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar, deputy CM Dushyant Chautala, state home minister Anil Vij, the Haryana DGP and other senior cops but no action has been taken so far. However, Balram Jakhar said he had gone to the ancestral house for some domestic work and Prakash Veer’s family assaulted him. Geetika said she had gone to resolve the issue of ownership of the house.

SHO Priyansu Divan said both sides have lodged complaints against each other. On a complaint filed by Prakash Veer , we have referred the complaint to the Fatehabad DC and SP to initiate action. Since the complaint has been filed against class-one officials, the FIR will be registered after due permission from higher authorities, he added.
