It was barely four days ago that the Punjab Government's CrPC Amendment Act-2005 which prohibits Punjab Police from arresting women after sunset, was legislated. But the police allegedly not only apprehended a heavily pregnant woman after sunset but also gave her the third degree, due to which she aborted. In what might be termed as the murder of an unborn child, a female constable entered the 'labour room' of a hospital and started beating-up a nine-month pregnant Dalit woman, Raji, a resident of Kuttiwal village in Ajnala, Amritsar. Due to which Raji delivered a dead baby. Narrating her tale of woe, Raji alleged that there was a jewellery theft in the house of her landlord Dalbir Singh, who had named her brother, Jaspal Masih, as being responsible for it. He was a labourer at Dalbir's farm. - Sunil Kumar
