Ex-serviceman claims misconduct at police station over land dispute:Warns of becoming Pan Singh Tomar if justice denied; alleges TI abuses his mother, grabs his collar

I had a land dispute. I went to the police station with a complaint. There, TI Vijay Ken abused my mother. He grabbed my collar. I am a soldier. I will not let any harm come to the honor of my mother and motherland. If I don’t get justice, Pan Singh Tomar of Chambal is my idol, just as he was harassed in a land matter and took up arms. It won’t take me long to take such a step either. The SP sir had given an assurance of 7 days. 15 days have passed. I haven’t received justice yet. These words belong to Rakesh Singh Kushwah, the district president of the Ex-Servicemen’s Association and a retired Subedar Major. According to retired Subedar Major Rakesh Singh Kushwah, on March 11 at 2 PM, he was protesting with ex-servicemen in Mehegaon over the six-lane construction of National Highway 719 when, around 3 PM, his younger brother Rajesh Singh Kushwah informed him that villagers were threshing and taking away their mustard crop. He contacted SP Dr. Asit Yadav. The police reached the spot, but the accused had already left. He later reached the SP office around 5 PM and submitted a written complaint. On March 12, around 2 PM, he went with his brother to the Mihona police station to file a case. They were kept there until 4 PM, the opposing party was called, and reconciliation efforts were made, but no agreement was reached. Opposing party threatened in front of police TI got agitated after reconciliation failed Retired soldiers from 4 districts came together According to the Major, I didn’t feel the matter was right, so I seized the opportunity and drove the car out of the police station premises. After getting out, I informed the media about it. After the matter came to the media, retired soldiers from Bhind, Morena, Datia, and Gwalior districts joined me. On March 13, everyone surrounded the police station. About 300 soldiers were protesting outside. Everyone demanded immediate action against the TI. Bhind SP Asit Yadav sent TI Vijay Ken to the police lines. Deputy Commandant arrived in Bhind to conduct a physical investigation On March 14, Deputy Commandant Colonel Vishal Kshetriya from Army Headquarters arrived in Bhind to conduct a physical investigation of the entire matter. He first reached Mihona Police Station with the Army Police. He stayed there for about an hour and a half. He told the TI- ‘If you have been put on reserve duty, why are you at the police station? Go to Bhind and report for duty.’ Officials discussed in a closed room for 55 minutes From here, he reached Bhind SP Office. He spoke with SP Asit Yadav. Both officials discussed in a closed room for about 55 minutes. It is said that SP Asit Yadav informed that an inquiry has been initiated against the TI. He also mentioned filing an FIR against the TI. As no action was taken against the TI, officials of the Ex-Servicemen’s Association reached the SP Office and Collector Office on March 24. Here, they submitted a memorandum demanding the completion of the investigation, an FIR, and suspension of the TI. What is the case of the retired soldier? All allegations are baseless Regarding the matter, TI Vijay Ken says, The allegations against him are all baseless. There is no such evidence. SP Sir is investigating the entire matter. Whatever order SP Sir gives after the investigation will be valid. Disputes with army families in the past too Cases of land disputes with army families have come to light in Bhind before. About two years ago, during a rally of Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, a retired soldier had also made allegations. Similarly, Ramesh Singh of Lahalauri village has also been fighting for justice for years over a land dispute. These retired soldiers have taken up arms
