Farmer who claimed to be hit by Saini’s convoy booked in three cases

AMBALA: Two days after a farmer from Yamunanagar, Bhawan Preet claimed of getting hit by the Innova of BJP MP Nayab Saini’s convoy, he has been booked in three separate FIRS along with district BKU (Charuni) chief Malkit Singh and others at Naraingarh police station, while there has been no action on his complaint yet.

As per the first case lodged on complaint of the station in-charge of Naraingarh police station, SI Dhoom Singh, it was alleged that the farm unions had protested outside the Saini Samaj Dharamshala at a social event attended by MP Saini and state transport minister Moolchand Sharma. Singh said, “Despite our efforts of asking them to remain calm, the union members broke barricades twice and gathered outside the venue. The farmers continued to create a ruckus when the dignitaries were leaving the event.”

Farm leaders Malkit Singh and Jaswinder along with Bhawan Preet have been named in the FIR on charges of rioting, unlawful assembly and others.

In the second case, Malkit, Bhawan and Parmeshwar alias Pappi have been booked on complaint of a local Rajiv Saini for rioting, wrongful confinement and others. Saini said the suspects had levelled false allegations against him that he was driving the MP’S car and had hit Bhawan Preet.

The third case has been registered by Saini’s driver Anil Kumar, of Babain, against Malkit, Bhawan and Jaswinder Bhookhri on charges of wrongful restraint, attempting to commit offences and others.

Sub-inspector Dhoom Singh said, “Three cases were lodged against the farmers on Friday. No arrest has been made and investigations are underway. We’ve already registered a DDR on complaint of Bhawan Preet but no FIR has been lodged.”
