Sangrur, January 30

http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/pu...gster-surrenders-in-sangrur-court/536377.html

Gangster Ravicharn Singh Deol (34) alias Ravi Deol, wanted in 12 cases, surrendered in a local court today as he reportedly feared being killed in a fake encounter. The court sent him to police remand till February 3 in an attempt-to-murder case.

In April 2013, the Fatehgarh Sahib police had booked Deol under the NDPS Act after allegedly seizing 5 kg of ‘ice’ (methamphetamine), a party drug, and 90 kg of pseudoephedrine, a performance-enhancing substance used by sportspersons, from his Sangrur house.

Ashwani Chaudhary and Raj Kumar Goyal, the counsels for Deol, said: “He faces 12 cases — eight are registered in Sangrur and two each in Patiala and Fatehgarh Sahib. The co-accused in eight cases registered in Sangrur have been absolved of charges. We have enough evidence to prove that he has been framed in all 12 cases.”

All intelligence agencies were caught napping when Deol filed eight applications in the court of Judicial Magistrate First Class Jagbir Singh Mehndiratta to surrender in all eight cases registered in Sangrur. The court directed the police to take him into custody.

“In his application, Deol has alleged that fearing more false cases, he fled Sangrur in 2008 and after that he never came to Sangrur and or Punjab. The police registered a false drug case against him in 2013.

Today, he surrendered before the court as he fears that he maybe killed in a fake encounter,” the counsels said. “The police will find out all those who helped him,” SSP Mandeep Sidhu said.

Patiala, February 23

A notorious gangster and key plotter of the 2016 Nabha jailbreak has been arrested in Hong Kong, a special police team said on Friday.

Gangster Ramanjit Singh alias Romi, who faces several criminal charges, was arrested in a robbery case by Hong Kong Police.

Interpol had issued Red Notice against Singh on Patiala Police's application after he disappeared in 2016.

Singh was previously arrested in 2016, and later released on bail, but he jumped bail and escaped to Hong Kong. He kept in touch with gangster Gurpreet Singh Sekhon, a key plotter and one of the six people to escape Nabha prison in November 2016.

Singh is believed to have provided financial assistance to the escapees for their jailbreak.

Sekhon and some of his associates were arrested in February 2017.

“Romi was arrested and sent to jail in 2016, but he managed bail and got in touch with one of the three senior cops probing his case. One of them allegedly struck a deal with him and returned his passports”, said an officer. His name also appeared in connection with investigations into a recent encounter of gangster Harjinder Singh alias Vicky Gounder, also one of the six people who escaped the prison in November 2016.

Gounder, who faced several serious charges such as murder, extortion, prison break and drug smuggling, was being investigated for his possible links to militant organisation and even Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), and recently received an automatic assault rifle from Pakistan through Singh.

Interestingly, police were believed to be aware of Singh’s plans to help some accomplice escape prison.

Singh also faces charges of theft and forgery after police found him in possession of a stolen car in Nabha in 2016. He was also charged with cheating after he was found in possession of several Chinese credit cards.

Gounder and Prema Lahoria, who was also killed in the shootout, were in touch with Singh, who was providing them logistic and financial support in India.

Singh is also being investigated for his suspected involvement in the killings of religious leaders in the state. His link with the Pakistan’s ISI is also being investigated, as is suspicions that he was acting as a linkman between militant organisations and gangsters in Punjab.

Singh is suspected to have come in touch with Jagtar Singh Johal alias Jaggi, a UK national belonging to a militant organisation believed to be behind the murders of Hindu religious leaders—among them Punjab RSS vice-president Jagdish Gagneja, who was killed in August 2016. Police are currently investigating the possible nexus between the Khalistan Liberation Front and ISI in the killings.

Police want to investigate Singh’s links to well-connected people, among them policemen.

The Punjab Police have arrested gangster Tirath Singh, a close aide of slain gangster Vicky Gounder as well as his associate Prema Lahoria.

While both Gounder and Lahoria had been killed in an encounter near the Punjab-Rajasthan border on January 26 this year, following their deaths, a slew of arrests of their aides are being made by the police.

IG, Jalandhar Zone, Arpit Shukla said, “Tirath Singh is an A-category hardcore gangster, who has been a proclaimed offender for the past six years and has been on the run from the police. He was arrested by the Khanna police on the intervening night of March 2 and 3 at a naka near the T-point, Bodli, on the Chandigarh-Ludhiana highway.”

The IG said Tirath Singh was the third dreaded gangster in the hierarchy after Vicky Gounder and Lahoria and was carrying a reward of Rs 2 lakh.

An FIR under Section 25 of the Arms Act has been lodged against him at the Samrala police station. A .30 bore revolver along with six used cartridges were recovered from Tirath Singh. The police said it was on the lookout of six to seven A-category gangsters, to arrest whom a special operation was being undertaken.

The police said the accused revealed during investigation that he was involved in the killing of gangster Sukha Kahlwan and in the attack on Lakha Sidhana – whom he attacked with the help of Vicky Gounder, Gurpreet Singh Sekhon, Jodha and Seera Sidhana – in November 2013.

He also facilitated the escape of gangster Paminder Pinda from the Nabha hospital, was involved in extortion cases and in robbery of cars from Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan.

The Punjab Police’s Counter-Intelligence wing on Thursday said that it has arrested a youth from Mohali who allegedly learned making IEDs with ‘do it yourself’ kits, after Pakistan’s ISI contacted him over Facebook.

According to a police spokesperson, preliminary interrogation has revealed that he was acting at the behest of his ISI handlers, who had tasked him with carrying out blasts in Punjab with explosives made from locally available chemicals, and devices bought from e-commerce websites.

The accused, Inderjit Singh alias Rinku, was an engineering graduate and has also done MBA. He was currently working with a private company in Faridabad.

“Singh, a resident of Faridabad, was nabbed on Wednesday from SAS Nagar (Mohali), and explosive materials, including chemicals and advanced electronic remote control devices, were seized from his car bearing Haryana registration number,” the spokesperson said.

“By nabbing the radicalised youth, trained in making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) with the help of Pakistan’s ISI, the counter-intelligence wing of the Punjab Police has averted a major lone wolf attack in the state,” he said.

During interrogation, Inderjit revealed that he was contacted by ISI officers over Facebook about two years ago and since then he had been interacting with them and learning to make explosives with ‘Do It Yourself’ kits, the police spokesperson said.

“Investigations indicate that Pakistani intelligence officers had chosen him because of his posts and profile on social media, and they went on to radicalise him,” he said.

The spokesperson said the Pakistani intelligence officers who contacted Inderjit were also coordinating with the terror module that was busted by the state police’s counter-intelligence wing on May 29 last year.

“The mastermind of that terror module, Harbarinder Singh, a resident of Mohali, was also in contact with Inderjit Singh over Facebook. After Harbarinder Singh’s arrest, Inderjit was operating as a lone wolf,” he said, adding Inderjit was highly radicalised and motivated to carry out terrorist activities.

“The explosive materials recovered from his possession included Digital Remote Control (multifunctional type), light remote control and various other materials including chemicals. The explosive material and the accessories were found concealed in his vehicle, which he had used for travelling from Faridabad to SAS Nagar,” he said.

His arrest came close on the heels of the counter-intelligence wing arresting four youths from Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar district on Monday, who were allegedly trained by the Pakistani intelligence agency and were planning to highlight the Khalistan issue during IPL matches to be held in Mohali.

A case has been registered against Inderjit Singh under the provisions of the Prevention of Unlawful Activities Act and the Explosive Substances Act, the spokesperson said, adding further investigation is underway.

For attempting to fire at cops

Khalistani Liberation Force chief Harminder Singh Mintoo, who escaped the Nabha jail in Punjab in 2016, has been awarded three-month imprisonment by a Delhi court for assaulting public servants and attempting to fire at police officers to prevent his rearrest.

Additional Sessions Judge Sidharth Sharma sent him to jail for three months, a term he has already undergone, after Mintoo pleaded guilty and sought leniency from the court.

He has been behind bars since November 2016.

The 51-year-old Mintoo had fled the Punjab jail with five other inmates on November 28, 2016 but was nabbed from the Nizamuddin Railway Station here a day later.

The prosecution said when Mintoo found himself surrounded by the police, he took out a pistol and tried to fire at them but was apprehended.

After completion of investigation, a charge sheet was filed against under Sections 186 (obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions) and 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) of the IPC and under the provisions of the Arms Act.

Mintoo had moved an application pleading guilty of the offences and sought leniency from the court, contending he remained in custody for the last 15 months and was a heart patient.

Two charge sheets have been filed against 15 people in connection with the killing of Shiv Sena’s Punjab-based leaders Satpal Sharma and Durga Prasad Gupta by operatives of the terror group Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said on Sunday.

The chargesheets were filed in a special court in Mohali on Saturday under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Arms Act, the agency said.

Sharma and his son Kumar, who were followers of the Dera Sacha Sauda, were killed on February 25 last year at the ‘Naam Charcha Ghar’ in Jageda area in Ludhiana, while Gupta was shot dead on April 23, 2016 in Khanna, also in Ludhiana.

The NIA said that during investigation, it was found that killings of Sharma, his son and Gupta were part of a trans-national conspiracy hatched by the senior leadership of the KLF.

“Eight incidents of killings or attempted killings were executed as part of this conspiracy between January, 2016 and October, 2017 in Punjab,” the agency said, adding that a chargesheet was filed in this connection earlier this month.


“The objective of the conspiracy was to destabilise the law and order situation in Punjab and to revive the fledgling terrorism in the State,” the NIA said.

Global conspiracy

The conspiracy had its foot-prints in several countries including Pakistan, the U.K., Australia, France, Italy and the UAE, the NIA said.

“As part of the conspiracy, large amounts of funds were supplied through Italy, Australia and the U.K. to the perpetrators of the killings, Hardeep Singh and Ramandeep Singh.

“These funds were used by them to purchase weapons for executing the killings and other logistics,” it said. The conspiracy included recruitment and training of Hardeep Singh and Ramandeep Singh in Italy, the agency said.

Accordingly, with the approval of competent Authority, vide MHA's letter dated 9/5/2016, the State Govt. of Punjab was requested to verify the pending cases within the 3 months from the date of issue of the letter and make disbursement of the amount from their own budget within stipulated time period but not later than 8/11/2016 and seek the reimbursement from MHA.

After a long follow up, the Govt. of Punjab, vide their letter dated 31/7/2018 provided the complete details of 104 beneficiaries, along with date of disbursement, in respect of whom total disbursement of Rs. 2.08 Cr. was made (104 x Rs. 2.00 lakh).

However with the approval of one time exemption of the cut-off date by the Union Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh, the amount of Rs. 2.08 Cr will now be reimbursed to Govt. of Punjab.
