Delhi cops beat Sikh to death because of bounced cheque
WSN Network

New Delhi: A member of the national minorities commission has sought a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the alleged killing of a Sikh, Nirmal Singh, by three Delhi policemen here Friday night. Harcharan Singh Josh, member of India's National Commission for Minorities (NCM), a statutory panel to protect the interests of minorities in the country, visited the house of Nirmal Singh in Vishnu Garden in west Delhi and met his widow Kiran Bala and other relatives who gave a written complaint against the policemen and sought action against them.

The NCM, he said, will take the final decision, most probably by Wednesday. Three policemen, sub-inspector Ram Niwas, head constable Rambir and constable Naresh, barged into Nirmal's house at 10.30 p.m. and beat him to death. The policemen had come to arrest Nirmal Singh, citing court orders against him after a cheque worth Rs.28,500 had bounced. Ashok, the complainant on whose plea the court issued a non-bailable warrant against Singh, accompanied the policemen.
