Patiala, 10 December
A case of murder and rape has been registered against religious preacher Ranjit Singh Dhadrian in Patiala police station Pasiana regarding the mysterious death of a girl 12 years ago in Gurdwara Parmeshar Dwar near here. The case was registered on the statement of Sahib Singh, a resident of Kaithal in Haryana, who alleged that his sister used to go to Gurdwara Parmeshar with her mother and stayed there many times. In the meantime, he allegedly had an affair with his father. When she became pregnant, her death was confirmed to be due to poisoning.
Denying these allegations, Ranjit Singh Dhadrian said that 13 years ago, when he had gone abroad, the girl had come outside Parmeshar Dwar and consumed poisonous medicine. He was taken to hospital, where he died. There was no mention of rape or pregnancy in the post-mortem report. It was a case of suicide. Therefore, on the statements of the family, the police did not take any action against anyone and registered a case under Section 174, and the case was closed. He said that if the girl’s family has any doubts then they are ready to face the investigation of every agency including CBI. They will be present wherever the police call for investigation.
