The deceased has been identified as Haismul Haque, a native of Dhubri district in Assam, who was employed at Vishwakarma Brick Kiln Industry in Sahnewal. According to police, the accident occurred a few weeks ago while the labourer was working at the kiln.
The victim’s brother, Abdul Hai Sheikh, alleged in his complaint that Haismul Haque, 52, came under a tractor operating at the brick kiln. The impact was so severe that his neck and one of his legs were severed. He succumbed to his injuries on the spot.
After the accident, the victim’s body was sent by ambulance to his native village in Assam. Family members were left devastated after receiving the body and subsequently approached the police seeking legal action. Acting on their complaint, a Zero FIR was registered at Gauripur police station in Assam’s Dhubri district.
The FIR was later transferred to Punjab for jurisdictional action and marked to Sahnewal police station, where a fresh case has now been registered under Sections 61(2) (criminal conspiracy), 103 (murder) and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
