My dear Sidhu Sahib Ji you have done a great deal of Research on Embedded Journalism in India and Punjab since 1980. Attached is an old news item published on 4 August, 1996 in Indian Express and also Tribune., that claims that as per Bibi Parmjit Kaur Khalra,she believe that  her Husband is still alive two years after his abduction by Mr. Ashok Kumar DSP stationed in Bhikhiwind.; Surinder Pal Singh SHO Sarhali; Satnam Singh SHO Jhabal; Jasbir Singh SHO Manochahal; Prithipal  Singh -Head Constable Manochal, and Surinder Pal Singh SP (HQ) Tarn Taran under direct order of KPS Gill.

Sardar Jaswant Singh was spotted at and kept at sarhali. Valtoha, Kapurthala, Sangrur, Chandigarh (Kothi of SSP Mr. Ajit Singh Sandhu of Tarn Taran. has personal grudge against Sardar Khalra over the disappearances of Sikh Youth in Punjab, because Mr.Khalra was exposed internationally, the Evil Deeds of Punjab Police in Tortures, Killings in fake encounters, Disappearances and secret cremations, after declaring them "unclaimed bodies" without knowledge of their parents, guardians or next of kin.Sardar Khalra Collected concrete evidences that about 25,000 Sikh Youth in Punjab had been killed in police custody and fake encounters by Taran Taran Police alone since 1984.

Sardar Khalra told the the Sikh Organization in Ottawa that "Mr. Ajit Sandhu has Threatened and told him to stop reporting his findings in press and said," if we are to be accountable for 25,000 bodies, we can eliminate you and can be accountable for 25K bodies also.".

On 22nd of September another habeas-corpus petition was filed in Punjab & Haryana high court by Mr. Navkiran Singh - a Chandigarh based advocate, but The Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryans High Court- Mr. S.P. Kurduker refused to send a warrant officer to Sarhali where Mr.Khalra was kept at that time.

For unknown reasons The CBI showed long delay in Case of Mr.Khalra to arrest the abducting Police Culprits, WHEREAS , In case of Mr.Beant Singh (Congress Ex Chief Minister ,Punjab) case of assination CBI arrested the persons involved with in days of 31st August,1995..

Mr. Ajit Sandhu ordered DSP Ashok Kumar to arrest immediately Mr. Rajiv Singh ( An  eyewitness of Mr. Khalra's Abduction and five others ( Satnam Singh, Satinder Singh,Balwinder Singh Jhabal, Surinder Singh Ghariala and Kirpal Singh Sultanwind) who were pursuing Khalra Abduction Case actively.. Khalra Case Action Committee has held a large rally at Chandigarh on 28 September,1995, and Delhi March on 10th December,1995. Another Punjab Level meeting of various democratic bodies was planned to be held on 30th January,1996.

We ow know that Sardar Khalra was tortured in Police Custody and killed by Police in the fist week of October. His body was thrown in Indra Canal at the place of BIAS river. 

                              SARDAR KHALRA BECAME THE VOICE OF THE DISAPPEARED IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD., AND WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED WITH LOVE AND RESPECTS<TILL ETERNITY.- Ajit Singh Sahota,Canada.

Today (The 30 August) had been declared International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances. The Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon  asking the Terrorist states like India to implement the UN Convention without Delay. They had been asking the State actors to implement Laws against EVIL of Torture in Police Custody also for decades now. The Status Quo Continues, Because the UN members do not have enough clout Or TEETH to force the CIVILISED behaviour of terrorist States, and people are making noise to eliminate Terrorism ! How any one can eliminate Terrorism without fist eliminating the State Terrorism??????????????????? They will continue to burn candles on the tomb stones of the victims of State terrorism. WHERE WOULD THE PLACE THE CANDLES ON THOSE VICTIMS SUCH AS SHAHEED JASWANT SINGH KHALRA AND THOUSANDS OTHERS IN PUNJAB WHOSE BODIES WERE THROWN IN RIVERS,CANALS AND SECRET CREMATORIES, etc. Disappearances started happening on large scale due to the requirements forced (although in good faith) by Human Rights organizations to register FIRs. However, the EVIL Police did away with FIRs, and their Collaborators such as Mr.S.P.Kurduker-Chief Justice of Punjab & Haryana High Court refused to issue warrant to produce Human Rights Activist Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra before the Court. If he would have done his duty to JUSTICE perhaps Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra may have been alive today and presenting the cases of 25,000 victims of Disappearances in TarnTaran alone,.And may be The Evil Superintendent Police Ajit Sahdhu would not have to commit  Suicide and the Real Criminals like KPS Gill and Congress CM Beant Singh would have been behind bars unable to hurt Innocent and helpless people in Punjab !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
