Amrik Singh, father of Avtar Singh Gola who was shot by police cat-turned-commando Gurmeet Singh Pinki in 2001, has accused the city police of shielding Pinki.

Amrik Singh said Pinki had threatened him of dire consequences and told him to withdraw the writ petition filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Amrik said the incident took place on September 20 last year when he was heading towards Cemetery Road in Civil Lines. Pinki, along with his gunmen intercepted him and told him to withdraw the writ petition.

“He said if I failed to follow his orders, he would shoot me the way he shot my son,” Amrik Singh alleged.

He said he lodged a complaint with the Division No. 8 police. The then SHO, Gurdev Singh, had said the matter would be probed. The police record shows that the SHO had filed the matter stating that Pinki was not in the city on the day of the incident.
