Chandigarh -These days, the Janata Darbar of Haryana's Home and Health Minister, Sh Anil Vij, is not being conducted. However, there is a continuous stream of complainants from across the state visiting his residence daily. On Saturday, hundreds of complainants arrived at Home Minister Anil Vij's Ambala residence seeking justice for their grievances. The Home Minister attentively listened to their complaints and issued directives for necessary actions to the concerned officials.
Many cases of kabootarbazi came to light during the public hearing, on which Home Minister Anil Vij handed over the investigation to the SIT constituted for this purpose.
A Karnal resident alleged that an agent deceived him into believing he was being sent to America. He mortgaged his land and paid the agent a total of Rs 75 lakh on different occasions. However, the agent subsequently absconded, and it was later discovered that the agent had left for America. Similarly, an individual from Kapurthala, Punjab, reported that the agent had initially demanded Rs 90 lakh to facilitate his journey to America. The amount was eventually settled at Rs 55 lakh, which the individual paid through various means. Instead of sending him to America, the agent arranged for the individual to go to Turkey. Subsequently, the agent's phone was switched off, and the individual was deported from Turkey. Additionally, a Karnal resident shared that the agent defrauded him of Rs 3.25 lakh with the promise of sending him to Armenia. Meanwhile, a person from Narayangarh accused the agent of cheating him out of Rs 2 lakh with the false promise of arranging his travel to New Zealand.
Home Minister Anil Vij has taken note of several murder cases, directing the SPs of various districts to establish Special Investigation Teams (SITs) for thorough investigations. A man from Mahendragarh expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of arrests in his brother's murder case. Similarly, a family from Kurukshetra reported that not only have the culprits in their son's murder case not been apprehended, but they are now facing threats from the accused. In response, the Home Minister has called for an action report from the SP and mandated an SIT to conduct a comprehensive investigation into these cases. Furthermore, members of the Baazigar community in Sirsa alleged that the suspects in a youth's murder case have not been arrested. The Home Minister has instructed the formation of an SIT to probe into this matter as well.
Additionally the Minister was also informed of several cases of land fraud. He directed inquiries into cases in Yamunanagar and Bhiwani where fake documents were used to seize land, and also ordered a state crime branch investigation into land fraud allegations in Bhiwani.
An ex-serviceman's son had been deceived of Rs 7 lakh in the name for getting a government job, and the Minister has directed SP Karnal to investigate. A former soldier from Karnal complained to Home Minister Anil Vij that the accused deceived him of Rs 7 lakh by promising his son a government job. After neither the job nor the money was given to the applicant, the minister directed Karnal SP to take action.
These cases, alongside threats of violence, physical assaults, noise complaints, property damages during excavation, and personal disputes leading to assaults were all brought to Minister Anil Vij's attention, prompting directives to authorities concerned for necessary actions.
