In an encounter near Hans Kalan village in Jagraon subdivision of Ludhiana district on May 17, 1991, one Singh was martyred a few hours after he had surrendered to the police in presence of several persons in broad day light. A little earlier, five other Jujharoo Singhs along with him fought nearly 300 police and CRPF personnel before being killed in a brave encounter. In this encounter, at least half-a-dozen security men died and more than a dozen injured. The Khalistan Liberation Force (Budhsinghwala) also made an identical claim as reported by me.
