A controversy has erupted in Abohar after an alleged public screening of an obscene video on an LCD screen near an ongoing protest site drew widespread criticism, with questions raised over public decency and law enforcement oversight.The incident reportedly took place on Monday evening outside the office of the Deputy Superintendent of Police (Balluana), where protesters had gathered in connection with the Kular village dispute.According to eyewitness accounts, a DJ system was installed and a controversial video was played on a roadside screen, allegedly aimed at “humiliating” a political leader who had joined the protest.The leader had recently switched from the Aam Aadmi Party to the Shiromani Akali Dal in the presence of Sukhbir Singh Badal. He had earlier faced a case based on a complaint by a woman in Sriganganagar but was subsequently exonerated during investigation.The screening sparked outrage, particularly as women leaders, protesters and police personnel were present at the site when the video was allegedly played. The incident quickly gained traction on social media, drawing sharp criticism for being “socially unethical” and inappropriate in a public setting.Responding to the controversy, Senior Superintendent of Police Gurmeet Singh said action would be initiated if a formal complaint is lodged regarding the incident. He reiterated that due process would be followed in addressing any violation of law.The protest itself is linked to a land dispute in Kular village, where tensions escalated into a clash on April 19. Shots were reportedly fired during the confrontation. Acting on a complaint by realtor Vinay Jangid, police registered a case against several individuals, including Kanta Jyani and others, along with unidentified persons.Protesters have alleged that innocent residents were falsely implicated and accused the police of one-sided action. Several political and social leaders present at the protest, including BJP state joint secretary Vandana Sangwal, Congress women’s wing coordinator Rajinder Kaur, Bhim Army president Rajveer Singh, and Azad Kisan Morcha convener Manoj Godara, criticised the police handling of the case.They claimed no action was taken against the rival faction involved in the dispute and demanded a fair investigation.A memorandum was later submitted to the DSP Balluana, who assured protesters that a meeting with senior officials would be arranged to address their concerns.The dispute, reportedly involving possession of around 35 acres of land, has been ongoing for nearly a month between Kanta Jyani and her daughter Rashi.Meanwhile, local MLA Sandeep Jakhar had earlier criticised the police, alleging they were “playing into the hands of land mafia,” a charge denied by authorities.The alleged video screening has now added a new dimension to the controversy, with demands for accountability growing louder.
