I,
Gurmeet Kaur, the above named deponent, do hereby solemnly affirm and
state as under: - 1.
On 1-11-1984, at about 11:00 AM, about 250 – 300 people came and
set the Gurdwara on fire and came to our farm. Behind the crowd came a
police jeep. We all were in the house at that time. In that jeep were
Thanedar – Hawa Singh and ASI Ram Chander and two Sepoys. Hawa Singh
stopped the jeep. He disembarked Ram Chander and two constables near our
house and took the jeep away after instructing the police, “Sub Sardaro
Ko Under Bund Rakho. Main Badih Gadee Lay Kar Aata Hun. Aur Unko Le Jainge.”
(Keep all Sardars locked inside. I will bring the big vehicle and will
take all of them away). After that the police kept us confined inside for
1 ½ hour and gave us water too inside only. About 1 PM a crowd of about
one thousand persons came again. It demolished our boundary wall and set
all the doors on fire with petrol. We were all inside. The fire was about
to reach us when we jumped and came out. As
we came out, we saw that in the persons indulging in arson was Harish
Pandit who is a DTC driver and is our neighbour. Baldev Raj Sharma who
stays in Kumpura was also in the arsonists – I recognize him. As
we came outside the house, the crowd started beating my husband. He went
to CRP Camp. He was accompanied by Harbans. These both shaved off their
hair and beards. At mid-night Balvinder my husband and Harbans – both
were pushed out of the camp. As they came out of the camp – the crowd
again attacked them. Balvinder was hit on the head and legs with iron
rods. Harbans, in the confusion ran away and stayed hidden in the village
for three days. After three days he told that we both (Balvinder and he)
were coming from the camp and the crowd had killed Balvinder. Harbans is
our neighbour and he recognizes a number of persons present in the crowd.
He informed me that if he is called, he would state the same. |
