0(  "Statement of Salwinder Singh son of Gurdit Singh caste Jatt resident of Sarhali aged about 40 years Stated that I am resident of above mentioned address and is am cultivator by profession. I have one son and live daughters. Paddy variety-1509 was brought by my son Gurjant Singh aged 21 years, my servant Swaran Singh son of Ganda Singh caste Jatt resident of village Takhtu Chak and my

  

brother-in-law's son Satnam Singh son of Sukhdev Singh caste Jatt resident of Sarhali, in Gran Market Sarhali, Our Paddy was not auctioned. We put Tarpaulin on the heap of Paddy and left for our Farm House (Behak). My son was driving his Motor Cycle Platina No.PB-46-L-7159 and my servant Swaran Singh was sitting on its pillion. I was sitting on the pillion of Satnam Singh, my brother-inlaw's son. At about 6.30 P.M., we started from Grain Market, Sarhali to our Farm House on the Pacca Road. My son and my servant were ahead of us, whereas myself and Satnam Singh were following them. When we were 200 yards short of G.T. Road, the time was about 07.00 P.M.

, I saw in the light of the Motor Cycle that Balbir Singh son of Sardool Singh caste Jatt armed with Rifle, Jarman Singh son of Balbir Singh caste Jatt armed with Kirpan, Stalanjit Singh son of Balbir Singh caste Jatt armed with Datar, Uday Singh son of Sukha Singh caste Jatt armed with Datar, Gurdev Singh son of Sukha Singh caste Jatt armed with Datar,, Gurcharan Singh son of Hardev Singh caste Jatt armed with Datar, Chamkaur Singh son of Deba Singh caste Jatt armed with Kirpan, Sukhraj Singh son of Lakhwinder Singh armed with Datar, all residents of village Thatha, along with 7/8 other person, armed with Datars and Kirpans, standing on the road. On seeing my son on the Motor Cycle, Balbir Singh raised Lalkara saying Catch him and teach Gurjan Singh a lesson for picking up quarrel with us.

On hearing the 'Lalkara' by Balbir Singh, Jarman Singh, Stalanjit Singh, Uday Singh, Gurdev Singh, Gurcharan Singh, Chamkaur Singh, Sukhraj Singh and unidentified persons, started causing injuries to my son indiscriminately. On seeing this, I along with my brother-in-law's son Satnam Singh, stepped back out of fear and cried loudly "Killed, Killed", at which all the above named assailants ran away towards Hari Ke on the G.T. Road via Canal minor Bridge, Khara, in a Car and Motor Cycles, which were parked near the G.T. Road, with their respective weapons. Myself and my brother-in-law's son Satnam Singh, stepped ahead and saw my servant Swaran Singh falling on the road and my son Gurjant Singh was lying in the Paddy field near the road, with large number of injures on his person.

My son breathed his last there and then in my presence due to injuries. My servant had also sustained minor abraisions and the Motor Cycle was also damaged from its front side.

-3Sukhdev Singh son of Major Singh caste Jatt resident of Sarhali and my son-in-law Dogar Singh son of Swaran Singh caste Jatt resident of Dhoonda to them. Thereafter, I informed the Police Station on phone and you have reached the spot. Apple of discord is that before this occurrence, a dispute had taken place earlier between my son and assailants. Due to this reason, all of them in collusion with each other, have murdered my son by giving him injuries. The unidentified persons can be identified by me, if they are brought before me. Action be taken against them. I have given my statement, it has been read over to me and it is correct. Sd/- Salwinder Singh, Attested, Sd/ Harjinder Singh, S.I., S.H.O., Police Station Sarhali, 12.10.2014.9
