Previous Haryana MLA held in an alcohol burglary case

Previous Haryana MLA held in an alcohol burglary case. Satvinder Singh Rana, a previous MLA from Rajaund voting demographic in the Kaithal region, was captured on Wednesday night in Chandigarh for his supposed inclusion in alcohol burglary from a fixed godown in Samalkha.

Rana, who unsuccessfully contested 2019 Haryana Assembly Elections from Kalayat in Kaithal district on a Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) ticket was captured from close to the MLA Hostel in Part 3 of Chandigarh, Panipat SP Manisha Chaudhary said. The police team had informed the Area 3 police in Chandigarh about their strike.

A Crime Branch team of the Panipat Police, under the management of DSP (Crime) Rajesh Phogat, seized the ex-MLA following the revelations of Ishwar Singh of Shamri town of Sonepat. He was captured with five others for purportedly taking alcohol from a fixed godown in Samalkha and a body of evidence was enrolled against them on May 10, the SP said. The case was enlisted on the objection of Rajesh Rohilla, AETO of the Extract Division, on April 28.

Ishwar’s cross-examination during police remand uncovered they took 4,500 instances of alcohol from the godown.

“It was uncovered during the examination that the proprietors of the godown took the alcohol cases alongside their co-blamed. Constable Ajmer, one of the denounced who was captured before, has been excused by the Jhajjar Police after his capture,” the SP said.

She said she had been coordinated to confirm the association of those captured in the Samalkha case with Bhupender Singh of Sisana, who was captured by the Sonepat Police regarding alcohol burglary from a fixed godown in Kharkhoda of Sonepat.
