  • Police station:: Pundri
  • Summary:: Village Ravanheda is a small village, located on the road side, which leads Pundari to Kurukshetra road and it is approximately 85 km away from G. T. road Karnal. The total population of the village is approximately 800. The majority of Dalits living there are daily laborers. The Sarpanch Ramesh (25) S/o Ramdiya belongs to Dominant Caste “Rod” community. The Rod community had attacked Dalits one year back, following a clash between the village Sarpanch’s son and some Dalit youths from the Basti. In this attack many Dalit were seriously injured. Now the case is under trial. Because of this Ramesh S/o Ramdiya was impeached from the administration. Thus, there was an unending hostility among Dalit and Rod community. On 10-08-2007 at about 6:00 p.m. S.H.O Dharam Singh, Constable Karishna and other police personnel from Pundri police station reached at village Ravanheda in search of Gurudayal (24) S/o Jit Ram, (who belongs to Valmiki community) and took him in a jeep. First the S.H.O Dharam Singh slapped Guru Dayal, who asked the reason he was being arrested. When they reached the police station Constable Jai Bhagwan alleged that Satnam S/o Jit Ram, the brother of Gurudayal had been involved in a robbery. Police tortured Guru Dayal while he was in custody. On 12-08-2007 at about 3:00 a.m. the police took him to the village Ravanheda in search of Satnam. Meanwhile his father in law and his father were at home. The police did not find Satnam, so they forcibly took his father and father in-law Budhram (50) S/o Sh. Hari Ram from Vill. Titram Distt. Kaithal. The victims appealed to SHO that if Satnam had been involved in any robbery, they would hand over him to police through the Panchayat. But the police said to hand over Satnam immediately or else they would arrest the pregnant ladies. At this time, Satnam was staying in his uncle’s house at Vill. Naina Distt. Kaithal. Police reached there with Guru Dayal S/o Jit Ram at about 5:00 a.m. and took Satnam S/o Jit Ram forcibly. He was wearing only underwear and baniyan. Then the Police took Satnam Singh s/o Jit Ram & Vijender from vill. Manana Tehsil Samabhalkha Distt. Panipat to the Pundri Police station, and began to torture them very cruelly. Vijender died in the police station, and Satnam Singh s/o Jit Ram died in PGI Chandigargh on 15-08-2007 at about 12:10 p.m. S.H.O. Dharam Singh Kundu and ASI Balbir singh & Constable have been suspended and the investigation has begun by S.H.O Sanjeev Verma.
