Fiza arrested for spat with neighbour,freed after seven hours in custody

Second time in six months that she has been held on neighbour’s complaint.

Fiza alias Anuradha Bali (40),the former second wife of Chander Mohan alias Chand Mohammad,the former Haryana Deputy Chief Minister,is in the news once again for the ‘wrong’ reason. The former Assistant Advocate General of Haryana was arrested over a spat with a neighbour on Tuesday. She was,however,released after spending almost seven hours in the police custody.

This was the second time in six months that the woman,with whom then Deputy CM had eloped after deserting his wife and children,was arrested as a preventive measure under Sections 107 (security for keeping peace) and 151 (arrest to prevent commission of cognisable offences) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) on the complaint of her immediate neighbour Ram Kishan Phoolia.

However,Fiza has accused the police of ‘harassing’ her and acting with “bias” at Chander Mohan’s behest. “No action has been taken against Phoolia despite my numerous complaints but I am being implicated in false cases,” she claimed.

Confirming the development,Phase XI SHO Inspector Harbir Singh told Newsline that on the complaint of Phoolia,who had accused Fiza of disturbing his peace by throwing paint and tarcoal in his courtyard,a police party had gone to the spot to verify the complaint this morning. “As both the parties were called to put forth their viewpoint,Fiza turned aggressive and refused to relent despite repeated warnings,following which she was taken into preventive custody at around 9.30 am to avoid any possible threat to the law and order situation,” disclosed SHO.

After keeping her behind bars for several hours,the cops produced Fiza before the court of Mohali SDM Amit Talwar,who ordered her release after furnishing a surety bond of Rs 20,000,at around 4.30 pm. The SHO divulged that since it was a second case of similar nature against Fiza,the SDM took undertaking from her not to repeat such offence in future otherwise her surety bonds furnished twice could be cancelled or she could be sent to jail as per the law provisions.

Earlier,on the night of October 17 Fiza was arrested in a similar case and after spending night in police custody,she was released on bail the next morning.

Putting forth her version,Fiza said,“A few days ago too,she had made a complaint of misbehaviour against Phoolia but no action was taken by the police. Today also,when I came back from police custody,his family abused me.” She further claimed that there was no evidence to corroborate the allegations leveled by Phoolia against her despite the fact that he had installed a CCTV.
