Non-bailable warrants issued against ex-AIG

A CBI court has issued open-ended non-bailable warrants against former Punjab Police AIG Jagdip Singh, after an application by the central agency on September 1.

Jagdip Singh is also implicated in the 1999 disappearance of SGPC employee Aroor Singh, with seven individuals chargesheeted in that case. A lookout circular was issued for him in 2021.

Court order dated September 3 noted, “According to information from Foreigners Regional Registration Officers (FRRO), Bureau of Investigation, Amritsar, Jagdip left India on February 1, 2021, via the Delhi airport to Canada. From 2023 onwards, the arrival of PO Jagdip Singh could not be traced.”

Baldev Singh, son of Mohinder Kaur, recalled, “I have fought in the Kargil war. Now when the time has come for justice, the accused police officials are running away from the court.”
