Ten years after an Amritsar resident disappeared at the hands of the police, the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed Amritsar’s Chief Judicial Magistrate to investigate the disappearance and submit a report:
In his petition against the state of Punjab and other respondents taken up by Mr Justice Nirmal Singh of the High Court, the alleged victim’s mother Surinder Kaur of Ajnala had earlier submitted that her son Kulwinder Singh was picked up at 5 a.m. by a police party on October 26, 1993. The party, she had claimed, was headed by then Assistant Sub Inspector of Police Harnam Singh of Lopoke police station.
The petitioner had submitted that on October 12, same year an altercation had taken place between her son and the police after Kulwinder Singh committed the mistake of asking money for supplying milk. The cops, she had added, had clearly told her son that “for such misbehaviour, people can be killed”.
