Yograj kin sniff police bias, file RTI plea

Times of India: Chandigarh: Wednesday, 17 September 2014.
Kuljit Kaur, the NRI cousin of Yograj Singh, on Tuesday filed an RTI application, seeking a copy of the police report in the brawl case involving the former cricketer and a former DSP.
She has sought document of her and her daughter Tanya Kaur's statements, suspecting the officials might have changed them from English to Hindi. According to her, police have got the Hindi complaint of Tanya as told to her by DSP Mamta Sodha, the investigating officer. According to Kaur, Tanya cannot read the language and neither write her statement in Hindi.
"The police are favouring former DSP Ashanand fully as no one is ready to listen to us and is just focusing on the parking brawl. I have asked them to look into the aspect of molestation too. As the police are not cooperating, and I am suspecting that they have changed the language too, I have filed an RTI seeking those statements," said Kuljit.
In the RTI application, she has even asked for document of the complaint given by Sunil, son of the retired DSP, after which an FIR was lodged. She has also asked for the complete police file, including statements and documents pertaining to arrest of both the parties.
"I have also asked for photographs/videos lying in the file of Mamta Sodha. I have also submitted photographs of our bruises to her on Tuesday. I do not understand why they are not lodging an FIR in the case as they can continue with their investigations later," said Kaur.
Kaur along with her daughter and Bhupinder Pal Singh, who was also booked in the case, met DCP Rahul Sharma and Sodha on Tuesday.
"We are still analyzing many angles in the case. The action would be taken after a proper probe in the case," said Sodha.
