KARNAL COURT EXTENDS POLICE REMAND OF 2 SUSPECTS BY THREE DAYS

KARNAL: The Karnal police on Sunday produced four suspected Khalistani terrorists in court. Two of them were sent to judicial custody while the remand of two others was extended by three more days.

With the 10-day remand of Gurpreet Singh, his brother Amandeep Singh and Parminder Singh, of Ferozepur, and Bhupinder Singh of Ludhiana expiring on Sunday, they were produced in court.

“Police remand of Gurpreet and Amandeep has been extended by three more days as the investigators will take them to Telangana and Maharashtra for interrogation on certain points and demarcation of some locations,” said Karnal SP Ganga Ram Punia. Interrogation of Parminder and Bhupinder has been completed and police did not seek extension of their remand, the SP said. During the hearing, counsel for the accused, Angrej Singh argued that the accused cannot be declared terrorists until the forensic report of the explosives is submitted in court.

“We have doubts on the police probe as the investigation agencies had earlier said that they had an input that they had explosives but how did they travel around 250km and easily entered Haryana?” he added.
