CHANDIGARH, June 16 -- The Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission has directed the Amritsar Rural police to submit a report by July 2 on a complaint filed by minister Harbhajan Singh ETO against Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring.
Commission chairman Jasvir Singh Garhi said that the minister had alleged in a written complaint that Warring made inflammatory remarks against him during the Tarn Taran elections in February this year.
Garhi said the commission had earlier sought a report from Amritsar Rural police, but they requested additional time to complete the inquiry.
Accepting the request, the commission directed the police to obtain Warring's voice samples and submit a report by July 2.
Warring said he would not appear before the Punjab State Scheduled Caste Commission in connection with any complaint or suo motu proceedings initiated against him.

Besides complaint filed by Harbhajan Singh, the commission had initiated suo motu proceedings against him over remarks allegedly made during Tarn Taran assembly bypoll campaigning last year. htc...
