MANSA – A woman, who was allegedly beaten up by policemen in the district on May 21, today lost her six-month-old foetus. Karamjit Kaur (23) of Ralla village in Mansa suffered from gestational bleeding after she was hit on the stomach. She had been trying to save her foetus for the last two weeks. The reportedly erring policemen, including SHO Jugraj Singh, have not been booked even though her parents have been running from pillar to post in this regard. Karamjit Kaur got injured when she tried to stop the police from beating up her younger brother at her village. The police had arrived there to ensure village land was demarcated.
The victim was admitted to Mansa Civil Hospital on May 21 for two days. But when the bleeding in her womb didn’t stop, doctors in the hospital referred her to Government Rajindra Hospital in Patiala. Dr Ranjit Rai, SMO, said: “When the fluid in her womb continued to decrease, we referred her to Rajindra Hospital. This loss of fluid could have led to the termination of her pregnancy.” The victim’s father, Bhadur Singh, said, “Even though we have asked the police repeatedly to book the erring policemen, no action has been taken. We will now knock on the doors of the court to get justice.” Bhupinder Singh Khattra, SSP, said he would look into the matter.
