CHANDIGARH: Amnesty International has written to the Indian govt to trace Kulvinder Singh Kitt who was arrested on July 22 last year after an alleged encounter in Mohali.
Eyewitnesses say he was seen being handcuffed but the police denied apprehending him and that he had died in the encounter. According to Tirlochan Singh Sidhu principal of the Kharar High School and father of Kulvinder, the IG crime had asked him to produce facts on the story. Sidhu said the police was harassing him. He said he had asked the authorities to get the cops off his back and to trace his son.
Amnesty has also asked it working groups the world over to send telegrams to the Indian Prime Minister, Home Minister, Foreign Minister and Punjab Governor expressing concern over the disappearance of Davinder Singh Pujari, Rajinder Singh Pappu and Gurbhaj Singh Jago. Action has been taken by Amnesty following an SOS sent to it by the PHRO through its report “India’s secret Black Holes.”
