A GOON GIVES BODY TO HIS THREAT, AGAINST BRIGADIER DANGWAL
Arborea Luxury Homes, a housing complex on the
Mussoorie – Shastradhara by pass road has turned into a den, in which the
loutish writ of a goon, Rajesh Negi runs. Ever since this complex was commenced
by a Gurgaon based company, Conscient Infrastructure Pvt Ltd and subsequently
possession of apartments taken by the owners, Negi has been behaving like a
yobbo who has been vandalising people with a no holds barred attitude. It is
rather strange that, Conscient which makes big claims about its quality of
construction and ethical business practices, has failed to rein in a person who
moves in and out of Arborea in his 7 series BMW sedan and is a self appointed ‘bouncer’,
who rather settle contentious matters between the owners and the company by threats,
abuse and boorish conduct than acceptance and a mechanism to redress the
outstanding issues.
There have
been a number of instances in Arborea, wherein the owners and residents have
been left absolutely frustrated and disgusted for having made a choice to buy
an apartment / live, in this housing complex. They rue that day, when they were
inveigled and trapped into signing on the dotted line and make their first advance
payment to Conscient, only because they believed what was published in the
company’s brochure, shown in the sample apartment and parroted by its marketing
executive. Nothing of this could be further from the truth and today the owners
feel cheated by an out of Uttarakhand Company that is investing and building
some more commercial infrastructure projects in Dehra Dun. One wonders why? A
Company that has shown its dark side, in the first of its residential project
which it launched in the city, Arborea Luxury Homes should be allowed to
further cheat and short-change unsuspecting buyers. It was as a consequence of
this poor business attitude shown by the Company, that the RWS and individual
apartment owners have filed a petition with the Consumer Commission, Dehra Dun.
The case is in hearing and the verdict is awaited.
While all
this is happening, Negi like a loose cannon ball has gone ballistic by giving a
threat to Brigadier (retd) S D Dangwal, who is the co owner of apartment E –
102. The brigadier has filed an FIR
dated 14 Oct 2013, against the goon with the SSP, Dehra Dun and SO, Rajpur
police station. The matter is under investigation with the police. It seems
that, with a view to make the threat operative, Negi used a stratagem to
confront and provoke the officer through a proxy of his, another Negi, who is
his stooge and the gym keeper in Arborea. It was on 17 th Oct 2013 that, when
the keeper misbehaved with and used impertinent language for her husband, Mrs
Dangwal, 57 yrs of age and a grandmother to a 9 yrs old boy, called him an
idiot and slapped him. At which, he hit her back and got into a scuffle with
Brig Dangwal, who intervened to protect his wife from any further assault. This
matter too was reported to the SSP and the SO, in an FIR on the same day and is
also under investigation.
It is extremely unfortunate that, an incident of
such a nature has happened, in which a defence services officer and a veteran
has been threatened, his wife assaulted and their dignity assailed by a petty
goon and a coward who dare raise his hand on a lady, old enough to be his
mother. Where are we going as a society and what have we come to? it is time
that the veteran community of Dehra Dun and the media condemn this shameful and
reprehensible action and exhort the Chief Minister to ensure that, strict and
exemplary action is taken against the culprits, who prosper because of
political patronage. Otherwise, this could snowball into a huge movement which
could shake the government of Uttarakhand.
Brig S D Dangwal
