Gangster Gurpreet Singh Sekhon was presented on Wednesday in the court of Additional Sessions Judge Lalit Singla for the hearing in a case pertaining to his aides fight with other gangster Kulbir Naruana inside the Bathinda Central Jail in 2015.

Along with him, his aide Lambar Singh was also present.

Sekhon’s advocate Rajesh Kumar said due to the security of Sekhon, the court directed that from the next hearing, he would be presented through video-conferencing.

Sekhon was brought from the Sangrur jail amid tight security as earlier he was also the one who escaped the jail in the infamous Nabha jail break incident.

On April 16, 2015, notorious criminal Kulbir Naruana, who was lodged in the jail, opened fire at Gurdeep alias Manna (another jail inmate), a member of Gurpreet Sekhon’s group inside the Bathinda Central Jail, which led to a clash between two groups.

Afterwards, the Civil Lines police had registered cross cases against 14 jail inmates of both groups. — TNS
