On 31st October, 84, along with S. Harbir Singh, others killed were S. Mohan Singh, S. Harbans Singh and his son. The mob humiliated me also badly and I was also manhandled by them. No help from police was rendered, rather they were the silent spectators over there. Everything was happening right under their nose.
