Patiala, October 17 (Press Ki Taquat)
After 70-year-old Jagir Singh, who was shown killed in the police encounter in 1992, was found alive in Patiala, the focus has shifted to the status of Jagir’s friend Daljit Singh, who was also shown killed in the encounter.
Kashmir Singh, Daljit Singh’s father, who is fighting the case in the CBI court, has demanded a fresh probe to find out the whereabout of his son, who was also shown killed in the encounter on December 29, 1992.
He has also demanded to investigate that if Jagir was alive, then who was killed in his place. A retired electricity department employee, Kashmir Singh (70) along with his wife Savinder Kaur (65) is running from pillar to post for the past 31 years, claiming that his son Daljit Singh (then 20) was killed in a fake police encounter.
Kashmir said merely a few days after the encounter in 1992, he had spotted Jagir in the area and also informed then police officials about it, but no action was taken. Soon, Jagir disappeared. “I tried my best to find him, but failed. A few years later, I had learnt that he was caught in a drug smuggling case and was in a jail,” he said. Getting emotional, Kashmir said, “I just want to know what they had done to my son.”
