GURDWARA WORKER KILLS HIMSELF; 2 OF STAFF BOOKED
Fatehgarh Sahib August 31:
An employee of Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib reportedly committed suicide by consuming poison after alleged torture by the storekeeper and langar in charge of the gurdwara. Both langar in charge Kulwant Singh and storekeeper Joga Singh have been booked on the charge of abetment to suicide.
The victim, Karamjit Singh (32) of Sirhind city, died yesterday. He had been working in the community kitchen of the gurdwara for the past around three months. He had got the job on compassionate grounds as his younger brother Avtar Singh died under mysterious circumstances two years ago, according to his relatives. Avtar worked in Gurdwara Jyoti Swarup.
“Repeated harassment at the hands of langar in charge Kulwant Singh and storekeeper Joga Singh killed my brother”, said Jasvir Singh, brother of the victim. He said his brother was abused by influential persons in gurdwara and was even beaten up with iron rods. “Certain employees did not wish that he should continue his job in the gurdwara since Karamjit was appointed on the orders of SGPC president Avtar Singh. He used to get thrashing by his seniors over minor mistakes”, said members of Karamjit’s family.
After consuming celphos tablets, Karamjit came to his house and told everyone present there that he did not wish to live anymore after ill-treatment at the hands of the gurdwara employees who used to hurl filthy abuses over his petty mistakes, said Happy, another relative of Karamjit. The relatives revealed that Karamjit’s uncle Swaran Singh and his brother Jasvir Singh met the manager of the gurdwara a few days ago over harassment of Karamjit.
“The manager shifted Karamjit from the chapati-making unit to the langar house. However, he was humiliated again for bringing the matter to the notice of the manager”, said the relatives. He breathed his last on the way to the PGI, Chandigarh. Meanwhile, Fatehgarh Sahib SHO Balwinder Singh confirmed registration of a case against Joga Singh and Kulwant Singh under Sections 306 and 34 of the IPC. Manager of the gurdwara Amarjeet Singh said action would be initiated against the erring employees only after the completion of Chief Minister’s function on Monday.
