Days after Haryana Police lodged an FIR against the state unit president of Indian National Lok Dal, Nafe Singh Rathee in connection to the alleged suicide of a local BJP leader, the state police Friday arrested his son Jitender Rathee in connection with installation of an electricity meter.
The Rathee family has termed the police action as “an attempt to pressurise them and crush the Opposition ”.
A few days back, Nafe Singh, who is a former MLA, and others were booked under Section 306 (abetment to suicide) of the IPC in connection to the alleged suicide of a local BJP leader Jagdish Numberdar — the son of former Cabinet minister Mange Ram Numberdar — in Bahadurgarh.
