BATHINDA POLICE HAD ON AUG 29 GIVEN A CLEAN CHIT TO CITY DOCTOR FACING CHARGES OF ENCROACHING PSPCL LAND

- Vishal Joshi

BATHINDA: Four months after the Bathinda range police gave a clean chit to a city doctor facing allegations of encroaching prime land of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), a special investigation team (SIT) headed by additional director general of police (ADGP) Sudhanshu S Srivastva has initiated re-investigating into the matter.

The Punjab Police constituted a four-member SIT last month after Bathinda deputy commissioner (DC) Showkat Ahmad Parray wrote to the director general of police (DGP) in October last year expressing indifferences on absolving Dr Gajendra Shekhawat in the alleged encroachment of land measuring about 12,000 yards.

On Tuesday, SIT head Srivastava, who is ADGP (security), confirmed that the probe in the FIR registered against Shekhawat and others has started but declined to share more details.

Bathinda civil administration officials are tight-lipped on the matter saying that the investigation is with the SIT.
