Tarun Sharma Assault Case
Jalandhar, February 19The local court today remanded Gurmukh Singh Rode, an NRI son of a former Akali Dal leader and a close associate of the state Chief Minister, in police custody for three days in the Tarun Sharma assault case.
Rode, son of Jasbir Singh Rode, who kept eluding the police for over 20 days, was nabbed by the CIA staff of the city police on February 16. However, his arrest was not shown on official records. The police had to show his arrest after The Tribune highlighted the case in its columns. A case under Sections 307, 506 and 34 of the IPC has been registered against him.
Sources said due to the alleged political pressure, the police might remove certain sections of the IPC during the ongoing investigation of the case. Rode had allegedly attacked Tarun Sharma, a city-based cloth merchant, on January 6.
