After Kulbir Singh Bira, another Babbar Khalsa terrorist Gurnam Singh, alias Gurcharan Singh, belonging to the Dorangla area in Gurdaspur, is being deported from the US. Security agencies here have completed the formalities for deporting Gurnam Singh.

He was to be brought today. However, due to technical formalities he would now be brought in next two days, highly-placed sources told The Tribune.

Gurnam was active in Gurdaspur district during the days of terrorism in Punjab. He was a close associate of Babbar Khalsa terrorist Baldev Singh Dorangla. After his associates were killed in police encounters Gurnam managed to flee the country. He had been staying in the US since long. The security agencies had been trying to deport him due to criminal cases pending against him.

The Gurdaspur police has started pruning the old files to look for the criminal cases registered against Gurnam. He is likely to face criminal charges in the district after deportation.

Phillaur, June 26

Activists of the Akali Dal (Amritsar) resented the producing of Khalistan Commando Force militant Kulbir Singh Bira before the Judicial Magistrate by the Phillaur police at 8.20 am here today.

He had been deported from the USA and brought here in connection with criminal cases registered against him. He was today remanded in police custody till June 28 for further investigations.

Akali Dal (Amritsar) President Simaranjit Singh Mann, who along with Mr Daljit Singh Bittu, Dr Harjinder Jakhu and other leaders, came here for the hearing, were not allowed by the police to meet Bira.

Addressing a press conference, Mr Mann described the producing of Bira at 8.20 am as unlawful, alleging that the police and the judiciary had not been working in a free, fair and transparent manner.

Mr Mann said he would meet the US Ambassador to India shortly and submit a detailed report about violations of agreement by the police in the Bira case.

He said he would write to the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court about Bira and how Bira had been produced before the Judicial Magistrate before time twice.

Mr Mann filed an application to the Judicial Magistrate, seeking permission to meet Bira and the Judicial Magistrate fixed the date of considering the application for June 28.

The Phillaur police registered cases under Section 188 of the CrPC for apprehension of breach of peace against several Akali Dal (Amritsar) activists for raising objectionable slogans at the time of producing Bira before the Judicial Magistrate on June 24.

The SSP of Jalandhar, Mr Ishwar Singh, denied the charges of SAD(A) President Simaranjit Singh Mann that the police was not allowing anybody to meet Kulbir Singh Barrapind, alias Bira.

Talking to newsmen here this evening, the SSP clarified that the lawyer of Bira was timely informed about the appearance of Bira in the Phillaur judicial court today and, moreover, Ajit Singh, father, and Balwant Singh, a brother, of Bira were allowed to meet him with the permission of the court.

Bhai Kulbir Singh Jee Barapind is currently "the talk" in the villages of Panjab, especially Dhoaba way. People are going to each others houses in villages just to read newspapers. A close family member was able to get view of Bhai Saahib outside the courts and he was happy and in Chardhee Kalaa. Perhaps members of this forum who are currently residing in Panjab or in close proximity to Phillaur way will know a little more of the actual reality in villages, other than what the media and news claim? 13 years recitation of Gurbani and Naam in a USA jail is bound to help ones moral keep strong and in High Spirits.....

Police unsuccessful in collecting information from Barapind

Sunday 2nd of July 2006

Panthic Weekly News Bureau

Jalandhar, Punjab (KP) – Kulbir Singh Barapind who was recently deported from the United States of America to India has been going through severe interrogations at the hands of the police. Though the Indian Government claimed that Barapind was guilty of carrying out over 50 different criminal activities during the times of militancy in Punjab, the justice system no proof has been found that supports such allegations against him to be true.

A senior police official addressed that Kulbir Singh Barapind was charged with keeping over 40 different weapons before the fled the country however no information about the whereabouts of such weapons has been collected so far. The police had asserted that Barapind received 16 of these weapons directly from militant organizations while the rest he had lifted from other sources.

In another interesting note, the Punjab Police divulged that Kulbir Singh Barapind was a close associate of Gurdeep Singh Deepa and that both carried out over 32 militant operations together. Punjabi Police officials report that although Deepa was killed in an encounter, no weapons could be found in his belongings. It was after this incident that Barapind fled the country. It was reported that during the course of over 10 days of interrogations, the police has still not gathered any information about the weapons that were alleged once in possession of Barapind or Deepa.

While Human Rights’ organizations have been keeping a close watch on the case of Kulbir Singh Barapind, such police discrepancies however prove that more is happening behind bars. Over 10 days of interrogations suggest that either that Kulbir Singh Barapind is not guilty of possessing illegal weapons or that the police are merely trying to increase the length of the remand by claiming previous interrogations to be unsuccessful. If this is the case then harsh tortures are likely to continue for Barapind.
