RTI activist Baljit Singh Nayak, who has unearthed a number of land scams in Kaithal district, has alleged that he faced threats from persons owing allegiance to two Haryana ministers, Randeep Singh Surjewala and Geeta Bhukkal, and other influential persons of the area. Baljit, in his early 40s, had filed a PIL in the Punjab and Haryana high court last year mentioning illegal occupation of public land by mafia in Kaithal district. "Ever since I raised the issue, both ministers and land mafia have been after my life. My writ petition has resulted into action against many senior officers of the urban local bodies department," Baljit told TOI. He alleged that Haryana education minister Geeta Bhukkal had not only occupied public land but had also managed to get building plans finalized in Kalayat town of Kaithal. "Similarly, Randeep Surjewala not only gave financial help, but also unveiled a statue, which has come up on encroached land," Baljit alleged. Recommended By Colombia Baljit said that he did not withdraw his petition so he was assaulted and implicated in a false case by the local police. "Though the concerned police official has been shifted out, I still fear for my life. I want an independent probe into the allegations, including those against me. Till then, I should be given proper security," Baljit stated. Meanwhile, officials in the state police headquarters confirmed that orders from NHRC on Baljit's complaint had been received. Ministers trash charges Trashing the allegations made by the RTI activist, Randeep Surjewala and Geeta Bhukkal denied they knew Baljit. Both stated that such allegations had no grain of truth. "I have never met this person so far. Hence all allegations are false and malafide. Secondly, for the past four years, I have not even visited Kalayat, though I own a house there," Bhukkal said.
