2. The translated version of the FIR is reproduced below:-

“Respected Sir, it is submitted that I, am xxxxxxx daughter of Inderjit Singh, resident of Street No. 1, Makboolpura, District Amritsar, am a peace-loving and law-abiding citizen. The complainant is a resident of the aforesaid address and earns her livelihood by operating swings (merry-go-rounds) at fairs. There was a dispute going on with certain individuals, and one of our relatives introduced me to Amritpal Singh. Amritpal Singh told me that he was the President and that he would settle my dispute. Thereafter, Amritpal Singh started visiting our house frequently and, by gaining my trust through conversations and assurances, proposed to marry me. On the false pretext of marriage, Amritpal Singh maintained physical relations with me for a period of two years, repeatedly assuring me that he would marry me. Whenever I insisted upon marriage, Amritpal Singh made false promises and delayed the matter. Further, Dalbir Kaur @ Bholi used to abuse me with filthy and indecent language, as she did not want my marriage

GURPREET SINGH 2026.04.07 09:48 I attest to the accuracy and with Amritpal Singh to take place, and Dalbir Kaur @ Bholi integrity of this document

repeatedly told me the same. That if I asked to marry Amritpal Singh, she would falsely implicate me in fabricated cases, and Meenu, Shavi, and Bholi's daughter-in-law also quarrel and fight with me. Thereafter, I came to know that with the connivance and collusion of the aforesaid persons, Amritpal Singh, while living with me, continued to have physical relations with me and, during these two years, also consumed the earnings that I made from my work. Thereafter, on 21.09.2024, I submitted an application at Police Station Makboolpura, and on 25.09.2024, the aforesaid persons made me execute a compromise, as Amritpal Singh assured me that he would marry me. However, after that, Amritpal Singh did not marry me. Subsequently, I submitted an application before your good self, which was forwarded by your office to the Women sell, and on 09.10.2024, even there, Amritpal Singh, by again assuring me of marriage, made me execute a compromise. Thereafter, with the connivance of the aforesaid persons, on 17.10.2024, they intercepted me on the way, attempted to kill me, and assaulted me. With great difficulty, some nearby persons saved my life. Thereafter, I submitted an application at the nearby Police Station B-Division, and subsequently, due to the injuries sustained by me, I was admitted to the Civil Government Hospital. In this regard, on 24.10.2024, I again submitted an application before your goodself, which was forwarded by your office to the Women sell, Lahori Gate. However, no action or hearing was conducted by the police on my complaint. As the police have failed to take any action on my complaint, the aforesaid persons are continuously issuing threats to kill me and my family members. They stop me on the way whenever they wish and threaten to kill me. The aforesaid persons also state that the police cannot harm them in any manner, as police officers are their friends. There is a threat to the life and safety of myself and my family members from the aforesaid persons. In the event of any harm or loss, whether to life or property, the aforesaid persons shall be held
