Sikh militant attack and sufferings

In the morning of Oct 3 1986, Sikh militants in police uniforms drove into the headquarters of Punjab Armed Police in the city of Jalandhar, and attacked director general of Punjab police Mr Riberio with automatic weapons. Mr. Riberio survived but his wife received a bullet injury and his bodyguard died in the attack[1]. Mr Riberio only received a minor injury in his forearm because of a bullet graze.[2] Four other police and paramilitary officers also received wounds.[3][4] Even though dozens of police officers were present inside the headquarters but all six attackers escaped in a waiting truck.[5] Khalistan Commando Force later took responsibility of this attack[6].

Former police officer and Khalistan Commando Force chief General Labh Singh led the assassination attempt. [7][8]. Later 13 people including Wassan Singh Zaffarwal, Punjab Armed Police constable Dalwinder Singh and Baba Gurbachan Singh were charged in this case. Eight of them were later arrested and 5 were declared proclaimed offenders. [9]. General Labh Singh later died in an alleged police encounter[10][11]. Police constable Balwinder Singh was first arrested in this case, then dismissed him from service and later in march 1993, police murdered him in a staged police encounter. His dead body was not handed over to his family and police cremated it by itself. Police also kept his family including his aged parents in their illegal detention for 11 months untill he was killed, during this illegal detention, his family was tortured and was used for minial jobs including cooking, cleaning etc.[12]. Later in 2004, when Khalistan movement diminished, Wassan Singh Zaffarwal was acquitted of charges in the absence of conspiracy proofs against him.[13][14]
