Heard about this on the radio.....the host also stated that the DSP had murdered many Sikh Youths for his own financial gain (including political opponents) and he was responsible for the public murder of Punjabi Singer Dilshad Akhtar who the DSP gunned down with an AK47 after the Dilshad had refused to sing a certain song.

Upset over CBI cases, retired DSP commits suicide

Amritsar, March 12

Upset over CBI cases, Swarn Singh Hundal, who retired as DSP in 2002, committed suicide with his double-barrel gun at his residence in Gopal Nagar, near police chowki, here this evening.

Many retired police officials who were facing charges of “fake encounters” during the peak of militancy today alleged that Hundal committed suicide under depression as their cases could not be pursued properly by the state government or the Punjab police. In 2005, Ajit Singh Sandhu, a retired SSP, Tarn Taran, who was key accused in the Khalra murder case had committed suicide by jumping before a running train.

The wife of the deceased alleged that her husband was under depression due to the CBI cases .

The retired DSP was also involved in the killing of noted singer Dilshad Akhtar in Gurdaspur district. The singer was killed while he was singing on the stage at a marriage party. The DSP had insisted that Dilshad sing “Nachhe jo sade naal...” of Hans Raj Hans. Dilshad refused to sing that song because it belonged to another singer. Provoked over the refusal, the DSP, who was drunk at that time, took out an AK-47 from his bodyguard and fired at him, resulting in Dilshad’s death.

He was dismissed from service and sent to jail. Later, he was reinstated. Apart from this, the retired DSP was facing other cases.

SHO Neeraj Kumar said the preliminary inquiry revealed that the retired cop was upset over the cases he was facing.

One of the cases was regarding the disappearance of a youth of Sur Singh village (Bhikhiwind) . The parents of the youth who fled from police custody had filed a petition that their son was killed by the DSP.

The police said the bullet of the double-barrel gun pierced through his chin when he pressed the trigger with his toe.

The retired DSP is survived by two sons, a daughter and his widow.

The senior police officers, including DIG Parmpal Singh Sidhu, rushed to the house of the deceased.

Police sources said the retired DSP was also facing CBI case regarding the killing of top militant Gurmit Singh Sohal of Gurdaspur in a “fake encounter” . His senior officers claimed the retired cop had shown exemplary courage during militancy in Punjab.

this whole story is totally false. Dilshad akhtar's death was 100% an accident. this was never about the song that was requested which didnt even happen. this was just about stopping the people for unnecessarily firing weapons. 2 or 3 shots were fired and one of the shots that was fired slipped right through Dsp's son and permanently damaged the son's ear drum. and hit dilshad akhtar. and the other shot hit a tailor that was also present at the party who was also dancing with people at party. this is the real story. If we carefully think about this, there were alot of people there in a big crowd and people were dancing and why would a father hit his own son. even till this day no charges were pressed on the dsp and he was not proved guilty.

 

this is true that dilshad akhtar died accidentally but it was not the dsp's fault. infact dilshad akhtar was his favorite singer and he was the one who brought dilshad akhtar to the hospital in his own car.

 

and one more thing they guy from the village sur singh that people say that Dsp killed, he is still alive and his dads name was gurnam singh subsdar who was retired from the indian army.

 

and this is the true reality.
