I went to the nearby police station of West Patel Nagar and reported that Khem Chand and his men were looting my shop of provision store etc. I was asked by the police to go away and when I insisted upon my report then I was detained in the police station forcibly. In the mean time shop was totally looted. I say that my entire goods mentioned in the annexed police report were taken away forcibly by breaking open the locks and shutter by Khem Chand, his sons and others brought by him.
