New Delhi, March 4 (IANS) Indian national Harjot Singh received bullet injuries while he was attempting to escape from the Ukrainian capital, and is currently in a Kiev hospital, where he is said to be "out of danger".
Harjot's brother Prabhjot Singh, who resides in Delhi's Chhattarpur, told IANS: "The last conversation I had with Harjot was on February 26 at 9 p.m. I haven't spoken to him since then. On March 2, at night, he contacted the family and informed them about his injuries.
"He informed that he was hit by three to four bullets while he was trying to leave Kiev. Local people took him to the hospital via ambulance and after four days, when he regained consciousness, he contacted the family with a doctor's cellphone," Prabhjot narrated.
"We also went to the embassy, gave them all the documents as Harjot has lost them when he was shot."
Harjot's family urged the government to evacuate him to Delhi as fast as possible for further treatment.
According to information, Harjot was trying to reach the border with his friends and was expected to catch a train from Kiev and reach Lviv somehow. However, he and his companions were not "allowed" to sit in the train.
He was shot at when he and his friends were coming out of the station. Harjot could not identify who fired the shots.
People can ask questions on 11 topics, comprising electricity, women safety, law and order, agriculture, health, drug trafficking and unemployment. Both Mann and Kejriwal will answer their questions.
A total 4.70 kg RDX, one Chinese pistol, two magazines, 22 rounds, two timers, six detonators, among others, were seized from two packets dropped by the drone, an official statement by the BSF said.
Punjab Lok Congress President Capt Amarinder Singh on Wednesday said the state needed the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government for security as well as economic revival.
"His bag was searched by us and we recovered 18 gold biscuits weighing 2,100 gm worth Rs 1.3 crore from him. He failed to give any satisfactory answer to us. He also failed to produce any documents in this respect," said the customs official.
He said, "It is shocking that while the entire country has rejected these laws, Kejriwal typically quietly keeps them in force. One can well imagine what his true anti-farmer intent and agenda in Punjab is."
Pointing out that Punjab was never before divided on caste or religious lines, Capt Amarinder said "Charanjit Channi does not have the calibre of a chief minister," and his tall claims cannot fool the people of the state.
