A couple from Hardiwar sought help from Uttarakhand Governor, saying that they had been dispossessed of their property by a Haridwar—based influential person, who is brother of the local MlA. Haridwar resident Anuj Kumar Garg and his wife Bharti Garg held a press conference in Dehradun on Wednesday and alleged that the local MlA’s brother had illegally occupied their property in Haridwar.
Garg appealed to the Governor to conduct an independent inquiry through SIT or others over this issue. He also said that the MlA’s bother had captured a jewellery shop named Geetanjali and Sari Showroom named Chhabra 555 by making forged documents in connivance with the Government officers.
According to Garg, he had written a letter to PM and PMO on November 10 and November 29 respectively. PMO had ordered an inquiry subsequently. However, police were unable to conduct a fair inquiry as they were being pressured by the MlA. “Things were probed thrice by police, but the reports were concocted,” Garg said, adding that they were being threatened by the goons at the behest of the MlA.
