Amritsar, June 15

Alleging police inaction, Ramandeep Khokhar, a resident of Bakha Tara Singh, Ajnala, has approached the minority commission for justice.

She said even after elapsing of five months, the police have failed to take action against her husband and in0-laws. She said she got married to Gurpreet Singh of Chabba village in November 2017. She said three years later, her in-laws threw her out of the house.

She was physically assaulted a few months after the marriage and after the birth of her daughter, their attitude changed and they started taunting her for giving birth to a girl.

She said her in-laws kept her in the dark that her husband was already married and had a case registered against him. He was currently out on bail.

In her complaint to the Emanaual Nahar, chairman of the minority commission, she said she filed a complaint to the SSP Amritsar Rural police, who marked probe to DSP Ajnala, who further marked the complaint to Ajnala police in January this year.

She alleged that no concrete action has been taken so far. She has further urged the commission to provide her justice.

Dr Subhash Thoba, member of the commission, has assured her that appropriate action would be taken.
