The new strengthened and revised version of WASPS is set to be launched in another two-three days by the Jalandhar Commissionerate.Commissioner of Police Arpit Shukla said, “This is a similar squad but in a new avtar. Unlike the black commando type attire that they used to wear, they will be in a smarter attire now. You will soon see them deputed outside schools, colleges and market places. Like the previous WASPS squad, they will keep an eye on eve teasers but in a more coordinated manner. We have made minor changes in the old format and ensured that the response time will be shorter.”

Former Subedar Prabhati Singh Dhankar had not faced as many hurdles during his deployment in the 1962, 1965 and 1971 wars while serving in the Indian Army as he has been facing in the past two decades for claiming his wife’s share of agriculture land at Badhra village of the district.“I am a resident of Sasroli village in Jhajjar district but my wife Hoshiyari Devi was a lone child of his parents and hails from Badhra village of the district. Her father had left 10 acres of agriculture land for her but few village musclemen had taken illegal possession over it,” said Prabhati Singh.Singh, who is now 80-year-old, said he had approached a Dadri court first in 1995 where he had won the case but the accused, who had some fake documents, appealed in the Bhiwani district session court, but there also he won the battle.“Again there was an appeal in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where also the lower court’s order got ratified but in the past two decades, the police had failed to provide me the possession of my land,” he said.Alleging high-handedness on the part of the police and the administration, he said the SHO concerned shows scant respect for the court’s order and leaves no effort in humiliating him as and when he approaches the police for seeking the possession of his land.On the clout of accused, he said three of them, identified as Zile Singh, Zaildar and Jagbir Singh, all sons of Jagti Ram, had been convicted by the local court in a separate criminal case but they are out on bail and forcibly enter the field and take away the fodder from the harvested crop.Badhra SHO Ashok Sharma, an ASI, said retired Subedar Prabhati Singh wants to claim more land than inherited by his wife in documents.On the allegations of soft attitude of the police in the case, Sharma said he (Subedar) had filed multiple cases in the court and complaints with senior police officials and wants to irrigate more land than his wife’s share.
Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar sparked yet another controversy on Tuesday when, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, he alleged that some Indian army personnel rape women in Jammu and Kashmir.
