Punjab Police Officer Admits Killing 83 in Fake Encounters Inspector Alleges Life Threat from KP GillBy: Sikh24 Editors

AMRITSAR SAHIB (July 1, 2013)–An Amritsar Sahib based Punjab Police officer named Surjit “Singh” has admitted to killing over 83 people in police custody. Surjit alleged that during the Sikh Freedom movement in Punjab, the Punjab Police under the guidance of KP Gill had killed many in false encounters. Surjit has alleged that many of those killed in these encounters were actually innocent youth of Punjab who had no links to so-called “militant organisations”.

In an interview by Day & Night News, the former officer admitted to having carried out the killings even though he was personally against such heinous crimes. Surjit alleged that he was promised promotions by the Punjab police to carry out such operations however such promises are not being kept today.

He has also alleged that his life too is in danger now and he has requested the CBI to carry out a full investigation in this case and also provide him with security.

Punjab Police officer Surjit singh (on right) has alleged he was asked by KP Gill to carry out fake encounters.

Surjit has been serving the Punjab Police since November 1989. During his tenure there, he was often given a list of names that were to be picked up and eliminated. He alleged that if proper investigations are carried out, many other Punjab Police officers would be found guilty of committing the same crime as him.

Human Rights Activist S. Jaswant Singh Khalra had unearthed proof of 25,000 illegal cremations just in Amritsar Sahib area. S. Khalra was later also abducted and eliminated by the Punjab Police under the orders of KP Gill.

There are many sad parts to this whole story, but one of the most saddest parts that stood out to me is the fact that even this man's truth isn't clean and free. His truth has many strings attached to it and is covered with corruption, anger, revenge and greed. The only reason he came out with this truth is to vent his frustrations and to get back at all of his higher-ups who didn't give him the promotions which he was promised in return for conducting all of those fake encounters.

After all of these years he probably didn't feel bad about anything and was probably drooling and dreaming about all of the promotions that he would get sooner or later. Then after 24 years of working with the Punjab Police, he realizes that he isn't getting any more promotions and didn't reach nearly as high-up as he dreamed, so now he comes out with the truth.

To me, that's one of the saddest parts of this whole thing. That the truth isn't even the truth anymore. It has corruption, greed and strings attached to it. If he got (close to) all of the promotions he wanted, he probably would never have came out with this confession.

Maybe this is why Guru Sahib wrote the following, in order to combat such types of 'truth tellers':

Sachoh Ourai Sabh Ko Oupar Sach Aachaar |5|
Truth is higher than everything; but higher still is truthful living. ||5||

Because even if someone tells the truth, it is still nothing compared to truthful living.

A prime example is the case we have here in this topic.

Dhan Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Sahib Jeeo Maharaj!!!

This Policeman should be encouraged to tell all about the Genocide of Sikhs. The shocking thing is that a low level Policeman can kill 83 Sikhs , multiply that out with the thousands of policeman involved and figures of 250,000 Sikhs murdered seem quite plausible. He should be encouraged to spill the beans on his senior officers KP GIll, Saini and the political people involve from the Congress and some Akalis.

The Sada Haq film and the general awareness of the Genocide is bringing people to talk about what happened.

The Sikhs that he killed were probably all young Sikh boys. Imagine the pain their mothers and fathers must have gone through knowing their young son is no more. The worst part it, these Punjab police men doing the dirty work were belonging to Sikh community themselves. But greed for money was so strong in them they didn't once think what a huge sin they are committing for a few ruppees.

We all knew this, but how these people sleep at night is beyond me, but i agree he should be encouraged to give all the info he can, but it will fall on deaf ears thats the question, and who is going to do anything not the indian Government / Badal thats for sure. We can but bring this to the attention of the world. Sickening thing is these guys are from sikh background killing there own, we have the biggest fools in our own community especially in the punjab :sad2:.

Each community has it's traitors. Criminals who cannot make it in normal society so they willingly become the tools of others to oppress their own people. No doubt had Hitler successfully invaded England, he could have relied on thousands of English men and women to act as collaborators and to oppress their own people. All the occupied countries had this situation, so you can understand the mentality of such people if you consider Punjab to be an occupied land.

What needs to happen if we really want to being greater understanding of what the Sikhs suffered to the wider western audience is to start to take affidavits from the people who lost sons to fake encounters. There must be hundreds of such people in Canada, USA and UK. Then use the laws already available in the free west to track down the lower rung killers. Those haram.zadas like that police officer who killed hundreds and then afterwards married their sons and daughters in USA and Canada and then joined them by being sponsored into that country. These haram.zadas are now living in retirement enjoying the fruits of a free society whilst they killed hundreds who also wanted freedom. If organisations like Sikhs for Justice can get a few convictions in the West, the floodgates will open and these haram.zadas will be singing like canaries implicating murderers like Gill and Saini.

Yes this policeman's statements should be presented to western human rights organisations. More policemen may come out and then it will be difficult for them to control the truth There has been a change in the Sikh community in the West on 1984 issues since the Sikh media started up , it could happen in the Punjab also.

true. But even in India there has been a HUGE change. There was a time when people did not talk about Sikh issues or say the name "bhindranwale" openly out of fear. But now it is common to see Sant Jee's tee-shirts or stickers adorning cars, motorcycles. Even the Sikh nation is coming together for Panthic causes like Bhai Rajoana protests, 84 memorials, sadda haq etc. Only thing lacking is Sikhi parchar which will once again turn Sikhs into Saabat soorat.

The old Indian saying "paap da ghada bhar gya" comes to mind.
