A leading English newspaper had carried a front page report citing poor condition of driver's family who doesn't have means to even provide legal aid to him. Driver Gurjant Singh who belonged to village Mauran in Sangrur district had reportedly rammed truck into the convoy of Mamta Banerjee while she was returning from a rally held at Lal Garh few days back. The driver was first arrested for rash driving and let off on bail He was however later book on attempt to murder and arrested again.
The family members of Gurjant Singh said that nobody from WB police have tried to cotnact them. Surjit Kaur mother of driver said that her son is illeterate and cant even think of killing Mamta Banerjee. The residents of village have also believed that Gurjant Singh was innocent and he was involved due to political rivalry between TMC and ruling CPM. The trucker's brother Veer Singh claimed that accident occured due to failure of breaks and it was not pre-planned.
Gurjant Singh has three children, daughters Parwinder Kaur(15) and Kirandeep Kaur(12) and son Jatinder Singh(9). The family is so poor that none of the children can afford to go to government school in the village.
