Delhi cops refuse custody of two in Balwinder case

Tarn Taran, January 8

The team of the district police that had gone to Delhi to bring two prime suspects — Gurjit Singh, alias Bhaa, and Sukhdeep Singh, alias Bura — on production warrants in the murder case of Shaurya Chakra awardee Balwinder Singh have returned empty handed.

Balwinder was shot on October 16 on his residence-cum-school premises at Bhikhiwind by two assailants. The team led by DSP (Investigation) Kawaljit Singh had gone to Delhi to bring them on production warrants.

SSP Dhruman H Nimbale today said the Tihar Jail Superintendent with the orders of the judicial court concerned refused custody of the two on production warrants keeping in view the law and order situation due to the farmer agitation. — OC
