Traffic SHO booked for grabbing NRI’s land

Ludhiana, February 6

In a major development the local police booked a former station house officer (traffic), Pardeep Sandhu, in a land grabbing case here today following a complaint filed by a nonresident Indian, Bhupinder Singh. The latter alleged Sandhu, an accomplished cyclist turned Punjab police cop had forcibly taken possession of his land measuring 1,200 square yards. The action follows an inquiry into the matter held by city police commissioner Ishwar Singh.



High drama was witnessed in the Vishal Nagar locality when the Sarabha Nagar police went to return possession of the land to Bhupinder, who currently resides in Canada. The former SHO had reportedly put a lock on the gate of the disputed plot and parked his car in front of it.



A team led by Sarabha Nagar SHO Dharampal towed Sandhu's vehicle to the police station and a case was filed against the cop, said Bhupinder while thanking Ishwar for "restoring the confidence of NRIs in the law of the land".



Sandhu was recently sent to Police Lines after Bhupinder brought the matter to the police commissioner's notice and reportedly sought justice.



Narrating the land grabbing episode, Bhupinder stated he sold his house measuring 600 square yards located in Vishal Nagar to Sandhu in 2002. \"I also owned a 1,200 sq yd vacant plot located adjacent to the house that I had sold to Sandhu. But little did I know the cop was having evil designs on this piece of land and would eventually take unlawful possession of my property,\" he said.



Sandhu reportedly took possession of the vacant plot when Bhupinder was away in Canada. The cop was later sent to the Police Lines and told to resolve the matter amicably. However, he did not budge and refused to return possession of the land to Bhupinder.



The matter was then brought to the notice of director general of police PS Gill, following which the police registered a case of criminal trespassing and criminal intimidation against Sandhu under sections 447 & 506 of the Indian Penal Code. The police has not yet arrested him till the time of filing this report. Despite repeated attempts the suspect was not available for comments.



Confirming the development police commissioner Ishwar said: \"Yes, we've filed a case against Sandhu based on prima-facie allegations made by Bhupinder and have begun investigations. No one is above the law, even if he happens to be a cop".



Accomplished cyclist



A recipient of the 1997 Maharaja Ranjit Singh Award, Pardeep Sandhu, an accomplished cyclist, shot to fame during the early 1990s and continued to be active in cycling till 2004. He won laurels for the state, both on the national and international circuit. Considering his prodigious performance the administration gave him the opportunity to run with the Queen\'s baton during the runup to the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi As a traffic inspector, Sandhu received huge appreciation from seniors for inventing mobile traffic lights, which could be ferried on a vehicle to different parts of the city to ease out traffic chaos.
