Bibi Jagir Kaur:

Bibi's deposition 'inconsistent'

The CBI decided to interrogate SGPC chief Bibi Jagir Kaur for the second time within a week of her deposition in view of inconsistencies in her statement with the facts which have emerged during investigations into her daughter Harpreet Kaur's murder case, agency sources said today.

Harpreet was allegedly murdered on April 20 this year in the custody of her mother.

Seven persons, including the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee chief, have been named in the FIR. Barring Bibi Jagir Kaur, all other accused are in judicial custody.

The agency is set to grill the SGPC President on Friday morning about its quenes raised by the facts thrown up during the investigation subsequent to her questioning on November 17.
Summons have already been sent to Bibi Jagir Kaur directing her to appear before the special investigation branch of the CBI.
The sources told UNI that certain content of her deposition did not tally with the findings of the investigators and hence her early questioning had become essential.
The SGPC chief had repeatedly told the CBI Deputy Inspector-General and the Superintendent of Police that she had no hand in the killing of her daughter and it was a conspiracy to malign her image.
She reportedly said she would never commit the heinous act of murdering her own daughter. Instead, she used to treat Harpreet as a "shahzaadi" (princess).
"Harpreet was a minor and was mi guided," she had claimed.

Bibi Jagir Kaur is likely to be grilled at the special investigation cell on Dalhousie Road where she was questioned on various aspects of the case for more than three hours on Friday last.
The sleuths had asked her several questions vital to the investigation of the murder case and also tried to reconstruct the events as per her examination.

About challenging the anticipatory bail granted to Bibi Jagir Kaur by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the agency sources said the issue was being examined by the legal wing and a final decision would soon be taken whether to approach the Supreme Court.
