TARN TARAN

Days after being booked for demanding ransom and opening fire at a fuel station in Chohla Sahib, Canada-based gangster Lakhbir Singh, alias Landa, has reportedly threatened Punjab cops of dire consequences through a Facebook post.

Landa, a resident of Harike in Tarn Taran, is also wanted in the Patti double murder case in which Akali worker Amandeep Singh, alias Fauji, and his aide Prabhjit Singh were gunned down allegedly by notorious gangster Daya Singh, alias Preet Sekhon. The killing was allegedly hatched by Landa, who fled to Canada in 2017.

“Today, I want to say one thing to the policemen: don’t harass (my) family members or relatives. If any man is guilty, shoot him. When I was in India, fake cases were registered after calling me from my home, and now after four years, firing was opened in my house. You don’t register illegal cases and we will not unnecessarily harass anyone. But, if you continue harassing the family members and the relatives, it’s your wish. But, don’t think that your families are safe, whether your children are in foreign countries or in India, we know about everyone. We have four, but we will take forty of yours and the responsibility will be of the police,” the post reads.

Landa and one Satnam Singh were booked under Sections 307 (attempt to murder), 384 (extortion), 506 (criminal intimidation), 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 34 (Act done by several persons) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and Sections 25-27-54-59 of the Arms Act by the Chohla Sahib police on October 23.

The case was registered on the complaint of one Jagjit Singh of Chohla Khurd. He had alleged that Landa had demanded 50 lakh ransom before opening fire at his fuel station.

After the Patti shootout, Tarn Taran police had started the process to get Landa extradited from Canada. The police had written to the Union government for pressing the Interpol to issue a red-corner notice against Landa. According to the police, Landa had demanded 20 lakh ransom from a Patti-based person and Aman Fauji was opposing this.

Landa had hired gangster Preet Sekhon to kill Fauji, who was a close friend of Gurmukh Singh Ghulla, political adviser of former Akali Dal minister Adesh Partap Singh Kairon.

Facing eleven criminal cases, including three of attempt to murder, Landa has been a headache for Punjab Police. He is facing cases under the Arms Act and the NDPS Act in Tarn Taran, Moga and Ferozepur districts, and Chandigarh.

Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Harvinder Singh Virk said, “We are verifying the post and a suitable action will be taken after the investigation.”

Failing to make it big in the world of sport, Jaipal Bhullar — one of Punjab’s most wanted drug smuggler and gangster who was killed in an encounter in Kolkata on Wednesday — achieved notoriety in the world of crime.

Son of a cop, Bhullar was on the run after gunning down two assistant sub-inspectors of Punjab Police in Ludhiana’s Jagraon town on May 15.

Belonging to Ferozepur, Bhullar had a long association with Ludhiana. A national-level hammer thrower, his sporting career had picked up in 2003 when he joined Speed Fund Academy, a government-run training centre in Ludhiana. Also, it was here in July 2004 that he made his first foray into the world of crime by kidnapping a cinema hall owner’s seven-year-old son.

With this his sporting career came to an end and his crime graph took a flight, as he came in contact with other gangsters in jail.

First such associate was Rajiv Raja who was arrested in 2006 for killing three family members of a jeweller in Ludhiana. Later, out on bail, Bhullar met Shera, with whom he decided to form a gang. In January 2009, both helped Raja flee from police custody at the Barnala bus stand.

Later, the gang carried a series of robberies, including at a gun house in Hoshiarpur, followed by more crimes in Mohali and Panchkula. They were also behind several carjackings on the highway.

Arrested in Chandigarh, Bhullar came in contact with gangster Rocky of Fazilka and formed a new gang. With witnesses reluctant to speak up, the gangsters were acquitted in July 2010, and soon there was a rift between the duo. Rocky decided to enter politics and allegedly helped cops hunt down a number of gangsters, before he was finally killed by Bhullar at Parwanoo in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan district in 2015.

Bhullar had also masterminded the 1.33-crore cash van robbery in Banur in 2017 besides executing robbery of 30kg gold at a Ludhiana firm in February 2020.

Jaspreet Singh, 29, the other man gunned down by the West Bengal police special task force on Wednesday, was Bhullar’s close aide. A resident of Kharar in Mohali, he was involved in several crimes with the gangster, including kidnapping of a businessman in Zirakpur last year.

He was also involved in killing the two ASIs in Jagraon, and was the one who started firing at them after alighting from the driver’s seat of the drug-laden vehicle. According to police, Jaspreet, alias Jassi, was facing over 15 criminal cases and had met Bhullar at Chandigarh Model Jail.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
