Bureau Report: Former state Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu has made a big revelation after meeting with Sukhpal Singh Khaira in Nabha Jail for about half an hour. He claimed that a big smuggler named Kashmir Singh who is lodged in Amritsar jail is being brought in Khaira’s case. Preparations are being made to bring him on production warrant. Sidhu said that there were 24 to 25 cases against Kashmir Singh and now he is being included in the 2015 drug case against Sukhpal Singh Khaira. Khaira’s son has tweeted after Sidhu’s revelation.
Grateful to @sherryontopp for unearthing pb police’s (@BhagwantMann) nefarious plan to further implicate my father in an 8 year old case. A new accused is being tutored to falsely and maliciously take my fathers name. @khaira_mehtab @INCPunjab @INCIndia pic.twitter.com/otM4Vs2qE0

Khaira’s son thanked
Sukhpal Singh Khaira’s son Mehtab Singh thanked Sidhu on his father’s social media account ‘X’ and wrote, ‘He exposed the false plan of the Punjab Police as to how my father is being implicated in an 8-year-old case. The new accused is being trained so that he can take my father’s name’.
In 2017, 9 accused were sentenced and Khaira entered
In October 2017, the Fazilka court convicted 9 accused including Gurdev Singh, Manjit Singh, Harbans Sigh, Subhash Chandra. All the accused were sentenced to 3 to 20 years. Gurdev Singh, Chairman of Market Committee Dhilwan, was also sentenced to 10 years in prison. Gurdev Singh was said to be close to Sukhpal Singh Khaira. It was claimed that Khaira has spoken with Gurdev Singh on phone more than 70 times and he used to fund Sukhpal Sigh Khaira during the elections. In return they were given shelter by Khaira. But when Khaira’s name came up when the trial of the drug case was about to end in 2017, the public prosecutor immediately produced some witnesses and claimed that Sukhpal Singh Khaira was also involved in the case, who had good relations with accused Gurdev. were When the Fazilka court convicted 9 accused, on the same day the court issued summons against Sukhpal Singh Khaira in the drug case and also issued non-bailable warrants. At that time, Khaira was an MLA of Aam Aadmi Party and he alleged that because he was exposing the corruption of the then Captain government, that is why his name was forcefully included in the drug case, this is the politics of revenge.
Supreme relief to Khaira in 2023
In the same year, on 16 February 2023, Khaira got a big relief from the Supreme Court. A double bench of justices BR Gwai and Vikram Nath Fazilka quashes the summons order issued by the court. But the Punjab Police this year claims that it has evidence against Sukhpal Singh Khaira in the drug case and investigation is necessary. Then on April 13, 2023, a SIT was formed under the leadership of DIG Swapan Sharma, based on its investigation report, Jalalabad Police arrested Sukhpal Singh Khaira for the second time in the drug case.
