Punjab Police Nabbers Waris Punjab De’s Varinder Singh Johal from Dibrugarh Jail in High-Stakes Scoop
Punjab Police Secures Custody of Waris Punjab De Member Fauji from Dibrugarh Central Jail
In a major development, a six-member Punjab Police team, led by a senior officer, has taken into custody Varinder Singh Johal, alias Fauji, a member of the pro-Khalistan outfit Waris Punjab De, from the high-security Dibrugarh Central Jail. This move follows the recent repatriation of seven other Waris Punjab De members to Punjab from Dibrugarh.
Johal, a former Army personnel and personal bodyguard of Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh, was brought to Dibrugarh jail on March 27. His transfer comes after the deadline for his detention under the National Security Act (NSA) ended, and he will now face trial in Punjab for his alleged involvement in the infamous Ajnala police station attack.
The attack, which took place in February 2023, saw Waris Punjab De activists storm the police station in Ajnala, near Amritsar, demanding the release of an arrested associate. Amritpal Singh and his close aide Papalpreet Singh will remain in Dibrugarh Jail. Significantly, Amritpal Singh, detained under the NSA, made headlines last year by winning the Khadoor Sahab Lok Sabha seat in the 2024 general elections from Dibrugarh jail.
After undergoing a medical check-up at the Assam Medical College and Hospital (AMCH), Johal was brought to the Dibrugarh police station, where he will be held in a lock-up before being airlifted to Punjab on Wednesday. The development is seen as a significant step in the Enforcement of Punjab Police to bring back the accused in the Ajnala police station attack to face justice.
As the law enforcement agency intensifies its efforts to combat militancy, the Punjab Police is working diligently to ensure that those involved in heinous crimes like the Ajnala attack are brought to justice. With this development, the police are one step closer to achieving this goal, and the people of Punjab are now eagerly awaiting the trial of Fauji and other accused in this case.
As the legal process unfolds, this case is set to have significant Ramifications for Waris Punjab De and its leaders, including Amritpal Singh. With the Punjab Police working to unravel the intricacies of the case, this development is a significant step towards bringing the perpetrators of the heinous attack to justice.
