Gurgaon, May 22

Former Haryana Chief Minister and INLD president Om Prakash Chautala, INLD's Haryana unit president Ashok Arora, Haryana Janhit Congress leader Kuldeep Bishnoi and several journalists today appeared before a local court in connection with a criminal defamation case filed against them.

The aforesaid persons, in addition to INLD MLA Abhey Chautala and several other journalists, had been summoned by a local court in the case filed by Haryana ADGP (CID) PV Rathi. They had been asked to appear before the court on May 22.

Hearing the case, First-Class Judicial Magistrate Mukesh Rao granted bail to the politicians and journalists who personally appeared before the court today.

He issued non-bailable warrants against the persons who did not appear in the court today and issued fresh summons to the persons to whom earlier summons could not be served.

Chautala and Arora were exempted from personal appearance till further orders. The next hearing will be held on August 14.

A news item published in an English daily on June 17, 2008, stated that an accused Dr Sandeep Sharma, owner of Shubham Hospital, Panchkula, had confessed before the CBI that he had bribed Rathi to get police protection.

Dr Sharma was facing an inquiry in a case of forgery registered against him under Section 420 of the IPC at a police station of Panchkula and had sought and got police protection after he lodged an FIR claiming that his life was in danger.

However, it later surfaced that Dr Sharma was arrested by the CBI on August 21, 2008, and hence, he could not have made any statement before the CBI in June, 2008, as reported by the newspaper.

But in the meantime, the four aforesaid politicians issued statements, accused Rathi of being a corrupt police officer and demanding resignation from the Haryana Chief Minister on the issue.

These statements were published in various newspapers from June 19 to 24, 2008. Those newspapers have also been made party in the defamation case filed by Rathi in November 2008.

Faridabad, May 22

A group of persons of a dominant caste at Daultabad village near here today allegedly beat up members of the Scheduled Castes, leading to tension in the village.

The group allegedly used abusive language against them.

The incident reportedly took place over the just concluded elections to the Municipal Corporation of Faridabad.

The Dalit members were allegedly beaten up for voting for a "particular candidate'. The village falls in ward 26.

According to the Dalits, they were beaten up as they had voted for a candidate against the liking of the group, which supported another candidate.

The police has booked six persons of the the group following a complaint lodged by one of the victims, Ravinder Kumar.

Those booked are two siblings Sukhveer and Harveer and their relatives.

According to DCP, Central, Shashank Anand, disciplinary action has been initiated against an ASI, in charge of the Sector 16 police chowki, for allegedly not taking prompt action on the complaint of the victims.

The cop allegedly misbehaved with Dalit women, who were holding a protest against the attack.

The DCP said an inquiry into the allegations against the official had been ordered and the probe would be conducted by the ACP, Central.

According to the DCP, two police teams have been constituted to arrest the six accused, who are at large.

Tight security arrangements have been made in the village to avoid any untoward incident.

The police registered an FIR only after members of the Scheduled Castes staged a protest against it for not taking timely action on their complaint.

They also blocked the road near the police chowki for some time.

The situation was brought under control after the DCP reached the spot and assured the protesters of strict action against the accused.

The protesters threatened that they would not go to the village until they got justice. They said such incidents had become a common occurrence in the stae.
