Punjab vigilance books Akali Dal leader
Chandigarh, July 1: The Punjab Vigilance Bureau on Sunday registered a case of disproportionate assets against senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader Dyal Singh Kolianwali.
A Bureau spokesman said that Kolianwali has been booked for amassing wealth beyond his known sources of income. He has been accused of allegedly misusing his official position.
Kolianwali, a former chairman of thew Punjab Agro Industries Corporation during the previous Akali Dal-BJP government and a former member of the Punjab Subordinate Service Selection Board (PSSSB), was considered close to the family of then Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
However, the Akali Dal condemned the Congress government in Punjab for indulging in vendetta politics in this regard.
In a statement here, former minister and party spokesman Daljit Singh Cheema said the Congress government was in so much of a hurry to frame the SAD leader that it had not even bothered to give him an adequate chance to explain his sources of income to the relevant authorities.
"False charges have been levelled against Kolianwali by stating that he owns land in Uttarakhand and Rajasthan besides a hotel with the sole intention of defaming him in the eyes of the people. The government has even refused to take into account the detailed representation of properties and income submitted by Kolianwali to the income tax authorities," he said.
Cheema said that earlier also the Congress government misused the state police to register a false case against Kolianwali and his relatives.

Andhra Pradesh: Four children die of suffocation after getting locked in parked car
Vizianagaram: In a devastating incident that has shocked the local community, four children died of asphyxiation on Sunday after accidentally getting locked inside a parked car in Andhra Pradesh’s Dwarapudi village of Vizianagaram rural mandal.
The children, identified as Mangi Uday (8), Burle Charumathi (8), Burle Charishma (6), and Kandi Manaswini (6), were playing in the village when they entered an unattended vehicle to take shelter from the rain. Tragically, the car door locked behind them, trapping them inside without ventilation, as reported by The New Indian Express.
The car had reportedly been left near the Mahila Mandali office by an unidentified individual two days earlier. The vehicle remained unattended, and it is believed the doors were not properly secured, allowing the children to enter unnoticed.
As the children failed to return home by evening, their families began searching for them across the village and surrounding areas. After more than three hours of searching, the children were found unconscious inside the car. The windows were broken in an attempt to rescue them, but all four had already succumbed to asphyxiation due to extreme heat and lack of oxygen inside the vehicle, added the report.
The bodies were rushed to the Government General Hospital (GGH) in Vizianagaram, where doctors confirmed that the cause of death was suffocation.
Local police have launched an investigation to trace the owner of the vehicle.
Vizianagaram MLA Aditi Vijayalaxmi visited the grieving families at the hospital and expressed her condolences. She assured that all necessary assistance would be provided to the families of the deceased children.
