“It has been about two weeks since the case was registered against some police officials in the killing of my son Gurjeet, but, despite repeated requests to the authorities concerned, we have not been provided the copy of the FIR so far,” said Sadhu Singh, Gurjeet’s father.

“I have twice requested the SDM of Jaitu, who had visited the family, besides the DC, but to no avail. I met the SSP of Faridkot on Monday, he heard us, but did not provide the copy of the FIR. The police neither refuse nor give us the copy. If we get the copy of the FIR, only then we shall know who has been accused, otherwise, it might be only an eyewash,” said Sadhu Singh.
