Mohali (Punjab), Dec 22: A special NIA court in Mohali granted a three-day remand of British nationalist Jagtar Singh Johal, an alleged murderer and a conspirator to National Investigation Agency (NIA), the central counter-terrorism law enforcement agency of India. The probe agency which suspects a terror angle associated with the case had sought a twelve-day remand in order to extensively investigate the matter. Johal’s name has frequently surfaced during Punjab Police’s investigation related to the multiple killings of prominent people in Punjab. His name has emerged many times during interrogation of members of recently busted modules hired by Khalistan extremist groups in Punjab. Police has also accused him of regularly communicating with militant organization Khalistan Liberation Force’s chief Harminder Singh, who, under Pakistan’s patronage has been designing nefarious plots to subvert the sovereignty of India. Jagtar Singh has also been associated with Gursharanbir Singh of the UK and Harmeet, based in Pakistan for promoting terror activities. He and Gursharanbir Singh have discussed ways to revive militancy in Punjab. Another Khalistan Liberation Front member, Taljeet Singh, who was in touch with Jaggi while living in Glasgow, Scotland, is now in jail for funding and sourcing of weapons.Former Director General of Police for Punjab prisons and a counter-insurgency expert Shashikant says that these Pakistan-sponsored mischiefs against India have been going on for a long time.The secessionists and Khalistan movement sympathizers are running pillar to post to establish a false narrative against the Indian government, saying that Singh is being traumatized by police while the truth is he is in best of his health.There is an online campaign launched misrepresenting the Indian authorities.The British government, however in an unexpected and shocking development, has been continuously pretending to ignore Pakistan’s vicious intentions and been seeking Johal’s release.
