door by which the other Indian Police made their exit at
7.30 p.m.
There is evidence that the man was alive after
6.00 p.m.
Medical evidence at the Enquiry was to the
effect that B.9 Chhajja Singh might have been saved if he
had obtained medical attention within one hour of having
received the wound, though the probability was against
recovery. Indian Lance Sergeant B. 349 made no attempt to succour this man, although he was lying at the door of their room and they would have run no risk in opening
the door to lift him inside and doing what they could
for him.
After the Coroner's Enquiry, the Inspector
General of Folice dealt departmentally with Indian Lance Sergeant B. 349 Jewan Singh, and the other three Constables (Indian Police Constable B.722 Gurbaxsh Singh; Indian Police Constable B. 315 Phuman Singh; and Indian Police Constable B. 553 Gurdit Singh), on charges of neglect of duty, and submitted the following penalties, whcih were confirmed
by Government:-
Indian Lance Sergeant B. 349 Jewan Singh, dismissed
the Force;
Indian Police Constable B.722 Gurbaxsh Singh, pro-
motion 1st Class Constable set back two years;
Indian Police Constable B. 553 Gurdit Singh
Indian Police Constable B. 315 Phuman Singh
promotion to
1st Class
Constables set
