He said the incident was an outcome of personal rivalry of Congress leader Mithu Madaan. He said BJP workers’ names were being dragged due to political rivalry. Suresh Mahajan, district BJP president, in a statement issued here on Sunday denied the involvement of any BJP worker or leader in the incident. “The incident has hurt the sentiment of followers of Bhagat Puran Singh and well-wishers of the society,” she pointed out. Perturbed over the incident, the All-India Pingalwara Charitable Society headed by its president Dr Inderjit Kaur also lodged a complaint with the bus stand police seeking stringent action against those who damaged the gate. ASI Pawan Kumar, investigating officer, said raids were conducted but the accused were on the run. They also stole the name plate from there. Lovepreet Singh told the police that the accused came in a car at Tehsilpura, where they started damaging the gate erected in memory of Bhagat Puran Singh. On the other hand, the BJP has come in defence of Rajiv and his brother alleging that a false case was registered at the behest of Congress leader Saurav, alias Mithu Madaan. They were booked for hurting religious sentiments of people besides theft and under Section 3 of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. However, no arrest has been made in the case so far as the police claimed that they are at large. A day after several unidentified persons damaged a memorial gate erected in memory of Bhagat Puran Singh, the founder of Pingawara Charitable Society, opposite the inter-state bus terminus on Saturday, the police have booked Rajiv Sharma, alias Dimpy, and his brother Bhushan Bholla, both sons of former Mayor of the city - BJP’s Subhash Sharma.
