General K S Brar, Kuldip Singh Brar, PVSM, AVSM, VrC is a retired Indian Army officer, who was involved in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. A Sikh himself, he commanded the Operation Blue Star to overpower Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and the pro-Khalistan Sikh militants, who had amassed weapons inside the Golden Temple complex.K S Brar was born in 1934 into a Sikh family belonging to the Brar Jat clan. General Brar's troops were finally successful in removing the militants from the Akal Takht, and both Shabeg Singh and Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale were killed during the operation. At the time of his retirement, General Brar was commanding the Eastern Theatre of India (the borders with China, Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar), and was also responsible for the defence of Bhutan. He was also involved in the counter-insurgency operations in North-East India. After his retirement, General Brar had to reside in the heavily guarded cantonment area of Mumbai. There have been attempts on his life, but none have yet succeeded. On 30 September 2012, while on Oxford Street in London with his wife, he was knifed in the throat by four men outside a hotel. He received minor injuries and was taken to hospital. Later, he was discharged. It was not confirmed immediately who the attackers were. On 4 October, Scotland Yard announced that they had arrested three people, not publicly identified at the time, for the stabbing attack, and were continuing to look for the fourth. The following day, eight others, a woman and seven men, were also arrested and charged;[14] on October 6, nine of the 12 individuals charged, including the woman, were released on bail. On 8 October, two of the men involved, Barjinder Singh Sangha (born 25 March 1979; aged 33) of Wolverhampton, and Mandeep Singh Sandhu (born 30 April 1978; aged 34) of Great Barr, Birmingham, were charged with wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm on the retired general. Both appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court later. Mr. Singh Sangha was also charged with common assault on General Brar's wife, Meena. In court, the two men wore identical grey T-shirts, large, flowing beards and navy blue and black turbans. Both were remanded to police custody and scheduled to be present on 7 December at Southwark Crown Court. Barjinder Singh Sangha pleaded guilty to attacking Brar in January 2013. A ccording to me Kuldeep Singh Brar's name should be just Kuldeep Brar, because he is not a true Sikh. He attacked the place were he himself belonged to, Waheguru ji will surely punish him.
