Quoting an eye witness account the report adds that the Sherpur police first picked up Kuldip Singh from his house in the presence of his father and then they went to Kamnail Singh’s house. He was not there. His father informed them that he did not tum up that night. He might be at his shop in Gandasinghwala a nearby village. They rushed to that village and picked up Kamail Singh from there. The eye witnesses revealed that a red Hero Honda motorcycle (PIT-4782) was used in picking up both the Sikh “boys”. According to the PHRO information the motorcycle was forcibly taken from Jaloor village where the gang left the earlier stolen Chetak Scooter (PB-11. 784). The same gang had forcibly taken Dr.Golak Khan’s jeep from the Gangasinghwala village and killed Rekha Rani a Hindu lady in Kheri village.
The villagers raised their voice against these killings and organized themselves to put pressure on the district police chief. The gang members were arrested in the presence of the public and later set free. It was a no more than eyewash since the culprits were roaming around freely and threatening Lakhbir Singh alias Jassi the brother of Kuldip Singh and the other eye-witnesses.
