Relief for man who dared to file PIL

MUKTSAR: Three years after a criminal case was registered against the family members of a person who filed a PIL in the infamous DSP recruitment scam during the Congress regime in February 2004, vigilance department finally cancelled the FIR.
The PIL had led to cancellation of recruitment of DSPs, and as one of the candidates was Bikramjit Singh, son of BIS Chahal, media advisor to the then CM Amarinder Singh, the person who filed the PIL allegedly faced many problems.
After Jaskaran Singh Brar, a resident of Bhagsar village in Muktsar, filed the PIL in February 2004, his family and friends started facing harassment from police. On October 8, 2004, the vigilance department arrested his father and brother after registering a criminal case against them. They were arrested in connection with an old-age pension case. Though the vigilance produced a challan and the court of special judge, Muktsar, framed the charges, after SAD-BJP government came into power, Jaskaran’s family moved an application for reinvestigation.
After an inquiry by DSP vigilance, Muktsar, the joint director prosecution (vigilance) recommended cancellation of the case in February 2008. The court summoned the DSP who had registered the case in February 2004.Posted by mynation on April 22nd, 2008
